A State law is NOT the same as a Constitutional right. They are 2 very different things.

Really? The Constitution reserves rights to the states under the 10th Amendment. And the Constitution also clearly grants property rights to individuals.

And there is a further right here - requiring that an employer accept you carrying a concealed weapon on company property is little different than requiring the Boy Scouts to admit gays - it is government forcing association - which goes against that First Amendment rights. So by demanding that you could carry a weapon on an employer's property against their will, you violate both property and association rights.

Gee, I don't see that I wrote that ANYWHERE in my previous posts.

Corporations only have those "rights" (actually privileges) granted by law. They are not people. They have privileges that people do not have. The states can set whatever regulations they desire for *corporations* operating in their jurisdiction. Privately owned, non corporate, businesses are another thing entirely. They, or more properly their owners, do have true rights.
