(Not that I carry anywhere, considering our statute for disarming Blacks)

I have no right to carry a gun in a private residence if the owner objects to it. I have no right to carry a gun inside a business if the owner objects to it. I have no right to carry a gun in a secured government building, provided they are responsible for my safety. Basically, there are two categories of places I consider the right to carry to exist: Unsecured public spaces (inc. public property) and private property where carry is not prohibited by the owner.

I'm not thrilled at the idea of requiring businesses to allow gun possession on parking facilities that they own, but I suppose that's up to the voters. I could probably be persuaded either way.
