Hi Riana:

Re "a person's or business' private property rights trumps one's right to carry"

"Employers have long banned guns from the workplace as part of a violence-prevention strategy, but those policies are being tested as states pass laws making it easier for residents to carry concealed guns -- in some cases, crafting legislation that strikes down business's attempts to keep guns off company property."

Again, does the 'shall not infringe' phrase in the 2nd Amendment need interpretation or have any exceptions at all. Why are felons, convicts and insane people denied their Constitutional rights? Or is that interpretation all right (because it makes sense, even though it looks unconstitutional).

Now you've crossed over into the silly. I never said that gangbangers (or anyone) MUST be allowed to carry any firearm, anywhere, nor do I think so.

First off, a high-percentage of 'gang bangers' are prohibited from possessing a firearm, due to criminal history. Felons have given up their voting rights, and their Second Amendment rights. So if your average gang banger shows up somewhere and starts waiving his Hi-Point 9mm around, he's (probably) committed a crime before he even clears leather (or waistband) with it - felon in possession of a firearm. Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.

Second, a person's or business' private property rights trumps one's right to carry, IMO. If an establishment has a 'no firearms' policy, then I don't go there, or if I must, my firearm is safely secured elsewhere. IMO, the Second Amendment is to keep the government from taking the citizenry's guns, and as such, has no bearing on a private party's on-premises prohibition of guns.
