Conceal carry at work place

I tote mine with me on my part time job even though I have heard that they have a no-gun policy. But then they will never know unless I use it and if I use it and get fired I won't care.

So a business is private property but is open to the public

Just how do they untangle that knot?

only certain people are protected from "discrimination" and gun owners are not in any of those groups.
either gun ownership, red or pink hats, t-shirts with swirlies and random other things need to be added to those "groups" as the need arises and the lobbies win or we need to eliminate the infringement on rights that are used to provide special protections for only certain people and allow the free market to eliminate unfriendly businesses that discriminate against people. the laws served their purpose at the time but the internet will prove much more effective at running racist, anti-trump, anti woman, anti gun businesses out.

my understanding is simply, a property owner can tell you to get off his property or out of his business because he doesn't like your politics*, shirt, your vehicle, your firearm. whether you are an employee or a customer.
but if you are disabled or a woman or judged on your skin color. that is another story.
*might've been protected but doesn't seem so in practice...
and holy thread necro...

You tote it?

I'm surprised they don't say something about you walking around with a tote full of guns.

I believe that a business is referred to as a "Public Accommodation" meaning that it is private property BUT they are inviting you on to the property for the purpose of commerce. They get to set the rules for your visit on to their property as long as they do not descrimanite against a protected class of individual.
