In light of your analysis, explain the “No solicitation” signs at malls.
Of course it's about guns, -- 'property rights' are being used as an excuse to infringe upon the concealed carrying of arms.
It's about the rights of private property owners to determine what happens on their property.
~Nothing happens~ if a concealed arm remains concealed on the person carrying it.
-- Common sense is being ignored in an attempt to defend, - what? Why does a property owner feel something will ~happen~ if his visitors/employees are armed?
In the example I've given, both guns and unbridled free speech are unwanted by the private property owner.
Unbridled free speech is a constant possibility from any visitor/employee on your property, as is physical violence. -- You cannot tape mouths or restrain your visitors/employees prior to their possible actions. -- Thus your attempt to disarm them is a prior restraint on an enumerated freedom [our right to carry arms]..
Granted, 'your home is your castle', -- I suggest you invite no-one into your home - lest they become 'unbridled';
-- and on the rest of your property try to conform to our constitutional principles regarding free speech and carrying arms.
In light of your analysis, explain the 'No solicitation' signs at malls.
What confuses you about such signs? The mall owner does not want his customers bothered by solicitors.
-- No one is bothered by customers carrying concealed weapons. --
--- Unless, when a mad-man appears, no one else has a weapon.
