Does a private property right outweigh a constitutional right?

An unalienable right affirmed by the Constitution, but would still be a right even if not enumerated.

The smoking bans trumps property rights as well.

I think private property and the right to bear arms are both Constitutional rights. In this case, they clash.

Does Nancy Pelosi have the right to free speech in your living room, or in your gun shop? Does an Islamist cleric have the right to exercise his religion in your church? Does ACORN have freedom of assembly on your lawn, or in your business’ parking lot?
Do moonbats have the right to free speech on Free Republic?

I think the solution of giving employers the option of providing alternate ways for employees to be able to drive their guns to and from work balances the two fundamental rights.
