If I were a business owner, the last thing I would do is prohibit workers and visitors from bringing their guns. I don’t want people being defenseless if some deranged maniac decided to use my business as a shooting gallery.

I agree, but the problem is where a property owner is fearful of firearms and wants only allow people on the premises on the condition they do not carry any firearms.

I am asking if a property owner can do this, can he also prohibit who carry HIV from coming on his premises?

Firearms that are carried concealed on the person are only being carried for personal protection. They are not being carried for any public display or use. Indeed, in my own state the law states that a concealed weapon must remain concealed in public except when necessary for immediate use.

Just as HIV is a personal, and private, matter, so is the issue of self defense. Nobody can provide self defense for me. What I carry in my pants is my own business. That is where I would draw the line with respect to the property owner’s right to draw conditions of entry to his premises.
