Not according to our constitutions 2nd amendment. - It "shall not be infringed"; --- which is part of the law of the land that we all are obligated to support & defend, businessmen included.

However, IMO, if they did that it would create an intolerable situation, one that should result in the loss of the right.

Businessmen have no such 'right' or power to infringe upon anyone else's 2nd amendment rights.

Like I've tried to make clear, I hate to see us giving up our rights, whether it be control of personal property or the RKBA, but if we abuse them, we will lose them.

Some businessmen are trying to abuse our RKBA's under the guise of protecting 'parking lot rights'. You've only made your support for these businessmen 'clear'.

As an aside, businesses cannot make you give up the RKBA,

For sure not in Alaska, Oklahoma & Utah, to date. Other states will follow.

only the state can threaten us with the power of law.

Obviously; -- just as it is also the duty of the state to help us protect our rights with the power of law.

My support is not for businessmen who like gun free parking lots, it is for their rights, which are also our rights.
