ADA, Employment laws, Fire Code, Health & safety code, building code, noise ordinances, restrictions on hours of operation...... ad infinitum.... There are myriad infringements on the notion of "private property rights" when that property is a business. Why is it that a Constitutionally protected, Natural Right is not on the list of things a business owner must also honor?
At minimum, shouldn't it be incumbent upon the "private owner" who prohibits the means of lawful self defense to also bear the burden of protecting those on his/her property thereby rendered defenseless as well as the liability for failing to do so adequately?
