The RKBA was so important that our Founders listed 2nd only
behind religious and political speech, as we all know.
Private property open to the public, as a business ,is
different than property that is not. You can deny access to
your home for any reason i.e. race, gender, religion ,the way
they smell, any reason that you so desire. When you have
a business open to the public, you give up the right to deny
access on a discriminatory basis .
If it is legal to OC in your state, constitutionally, a business
can not abridge your right to carry. The only basis that they
can deny you of your right is if it interferes with the normal
course of business. Free speech is not checked at the door.
If someone at that business, employee or customer, says
"I love Obama" you have every right to say "I hate Obama".
If they say"there is no god",you have every right to say
"God is and almighty".Your free speech is not abridge.
Only when you use that speech to disrupt the normal course
of business,can you be denied access.Same thing with
carrying a firearm. If you innocently and legally carry a
firearm into a business, it does not in and of itself cause
a disruption of the normal course of business,only by an
over reaction of the employees, does a disruption occur .
Just my opinion,for what it's worth.
