No Way!
I reserve the right to prohibit entry or to remove ANYONE from my property, for ANY reason I deem necessary.
Not that I would prohibit concealed carry.
DaveB:
Private property is not the place for government control. That is the reason we have so many of the problems we are experiencing now. If I can't control my own property, it's not really mine.
AAllen:
As I read the original question/issue; Currently employers have and can have policies that keep CCW holders from being able to store a firearms in their personal vehicle on company property. This is not a violation of the Law but can be an issue that could get an employee terminated for the violation. People not employed by those in control of the property can under current law store, in an a locked container, their firearm in their vehicle.
This applies to all employers not only those in Public Service.
Employee Parking Lot Law would be an area to go into, unfortunatly the only model I can think of at this time would be Oklahoma's that was thrown out by the Fed. Court several years ago. This would require some research to put together but could be a good multi year project. It's a little late to start another bill for this year, bills are in the final stages of being written to be proposed during the next couple of weeks.

We can't do that, private business owner's have rights as well. It's their property.
Jesse T:
While I agree private businesses should have the right to dictate their own rules, I don't see why banning concealed carry should get its own special section in CCW rules for it. (and punishments for breaking it).
I just don't think you should get a firearms offense for it. The business owner should have to treat a CCW'ing citizen the same as any other person he wouldn't serve for any other reason.
It's hard for me to explain. But let me try an analogy of sorts...
I own a restaurant. But I hate people with brown socks. Its perfectly acceptable for me to post a sign next to my front door that says "no brown socks". Now imagine this sign had the backing of a government ordinance (like the CCW law does). If I catch someone wearing brown socks in my business and call the cops on them, not only are they in trouble for tresspassing (breaking my rules) the government will charge them with the ordinance, thereby creating a "brown socks" conviction on their permanent record. This will result in the person losing their "brown socks" license for life and they can only wear white socks from here on out.
I just don't see why CCW should be any stiffer penalty than breaking any other rule a business owner would set.
