If you objected to me leaving my self defense weapon in my locked vehicle while I and my vehicle were on your property then I would say, "Thanks for the invite but I won't be able to make it."

My reasoning for this is that I am never certain that I would be able to return to my home from yours to retrieve my self defense weapon without circumstances requiring its need.

If you were my employer and placed such restrictions on me then you would be minus one employee the next morning. The SCOTUS has determined that the police are not responsible for my safety, I and only I am responsible for that, therefore I demand the ability to carry anywhere I travel.

If the State places restrictions on where I may or may not carry then I am the one who determines if I will travel unprotected, not the State.

We agree on something.

Amazing.

I agree 100%. I would do exactly the same thing. But I would not ask the police or the legislature to force you to allow me to carry my gun onto your proprty against your will...outside of invasion or insurrection.

The question of this thread seems to be, which do I prefer? A government tyrant, or a corporate tyrant?

Neither is acceptable.

But we will see how closely government and corporate agree on this issue very soon. And then we will see that a tyrant is a tyrant, is a tyrant.

I like the BBQ invite scenario. I think it would be reasonable if I asked that you not bring your weapons on your person to my BBQ. but I do not think it would be reasonable if I said you could not bring them on the trip to my BBQ, even if they were locked in YOUR car upon your arrival.

That might put you at too much risk out of my jurisdiction.

Within my jurisdiction, your safety becomes my responsibility. Outside it, it's none of my business.

A cowboy rides up to your place with a gun strapped to his horse. He dismounts and approaches you. Are you afraid? Probably not. If he was intending on harming you he'd grap that gun off of his horse.
