We have a definition problem here.
1. Private property owner = A person’s property THAT IS NOT OPEN TO PUBLIC ACCESS ACCEPT AT THE PROPERTY OWNER’S EXPRESS PERMISSION. This is like his home or his private lake or ranch.
2. Private Property/Public Acccess Owner = A person who owns a business, but their business is open to the public, i.e. a restaraunt, an auto parts store, etc....
IMO, in case #2, if a person keeps his weapon concealed, the property owner has no say in whether he allows guns or not. Gun ownership is a constitutional right and if that is extended (logically, IMO) to being able to carry it for self defense then a guy who invites the public into his business has no right to selectively deny a person his constitutional right.If he could, then he could have “Whites Only” signs legally.
And even then, an invited guest/ employee would not lose their right to concealed carry on their person or in their vehicles, while on the property.

Well put. 'We the People' acknowledged that our right to own & carry arms is uninfringable/ inalienable, -- and that we are all bound to support and defend our inalienable rights.
