I consider business private property in a lower class than personal private property. You can ban me from carrying on your property with your home, but I don't think you should have the same right on business or commercial property. They are used for vastly different purposes. You generally don't have large number of people unknown to you coming and going at your house, but businesses do with no control, which raises the risk to me. Yes I can shop elsewhere, but put the burden on them, not me.

I don't get why businesses and employers are so freely able to trample on my civil rights in the area of the 2nd ammendment. These rights should get the same level of protection as any of our other civil liberties.

1. Parking lot carry
2. Campus carry
3. Banning 30.06 signs*
4. Banning employers from restricting concealed carry in the work place*
5. Licensed Open Carry

On #3 and 4, I think that the RKBA is a constitutionally guaranteed right (the supreme court and I agree on that point). As with other civil liberties, I do not think that companies should be able to infringe on this right if they are public establishments (private clubs and individual homes, etc., would be exempted). I'd like to see the RKBA protected just as much as my right not to have to give up my freedom of religion, etc.

After all, you did say that this is a wish list, right?
