Is what you are describing truly private? Is a corporation with stockholders a truly "private" business?

Is a business who invite the public in the same as one's home for example? Could Wal Mart enact a rule that says you can't come in their store with an anti Obama T shirt on? Could they in this regard limit your right to express yourself? Could they require you to fill out a questionnaire and sign it waving your 5th amendment right? Could they require you to submit to a strip search to do business in their store? Not so clear is it? There is a line here, but where do you draw it?

I don't understand something...
Why all the to-do about carrying on private property? If someone, a store owner, home owner -- whoever, on his own private property does not want someone in that store or property for whatever reason -- carrying a gun or not -- concealed or open carry -- does not want you there, to my mind he has every right in the world to tell you to leave.
I don't see why law abiding citizens, like ourselves, should ever get into a fuss about that. Private property should be respected--to the hilt--at all times. This is part of our Constitutional Law and part of what we are fighting for in the Open Carry effort.
If a person does not want guns on his private property--he should be able to have it his way, like it or not, yes?
