Dear jonestown,
"It violates the public policy of the US to infringe on our RKBA's."
Not according to federal law.

The 2nd Amendment is part of the Law of the Land.

There are tons of legal precedent and historic facts that make it clear an employee has the right to ban weapons from his property. Such as saloon and bar owners banning weapons from their premises going back before the revolution.

Dear jonestown,

The Second Amendment gives you the right to bear arms.

It doesn't give you the right to enter onto another's property. If you do so without permission, and without other exigent reasons, that is generally trespassing. With or without a gun.

If you trespass, the property owner can have you arrested.

A person (legal or individual) may set the terms and conditions for your entry onto his property. As you have no right, generally, to enter onto his property, but certainly have the right to refrain from doing so, you may not generally enter someone's property while violating the terms and conditions set forth by the owner.

The owner of the property may require you to refrain from speaking about certain subjects (or, indeed, may require you to refrain from speaking, generally - you may be thrown out of a movie theater if you inordinately exercise your right to free speech.).

The owner may prevent you from bringing specific publications onto the owner's property (Try handing out flyers for the Church of Satan at a Christian church. If the pastor has you arrested for trespassing, see how sympathetic the judge is to your cry of First Amendment rights.)

The owner of the property may require you to pay for admission. The owner of the property may forbid you from conducting various types of commerce on the property, while permitting others. You may not complain about equal treatment as required by the Fourteenth Amendment.

The owner may even require of you that you submit to a search of your person. When I go to federal or state facilities, I must nearly always submit to metal detection, and further screening, if required. This is also required at airports, whether publicly or privately owned. There are certain private employers in this area that require this for access to certain facilities, now, too.

Because it is not a violation of your rights to create conditions that may cause you to prefer not to enter onto another's property, even if you feel that they temporarily abridge your constitutional rights, it is not generally a violation of law or public policy to do so.

However, once you are on someone else's property, they do not have the right to commit crimes against you. They do not have the right to assault you physically (except in defense of innocent life), whether sexually or non-sexually. They do not have the right to force you to commit felonies. They do not have the right to prevent you from reporting felonies.

These are examples of major "public policy" violations that are exempt from the at-will doctrine of employment.
