taxcontrol said: "If the State can take from a company the free exercise of the rights of ownership of property ..."

There can exist no "private property" belonging to a corporation without corporate law allowing the creation of such corporations. I don't think it unreasonable to limit such "private property" such that employees and perhaps other law-abiding visitors cannot be disarmed.

There are plenty of limitations already on such "private property". Just try to design a parking lot for such "private property" without including parking spaces reserved for the disabled.

The ownership of private property, is a fundamental right in the Constitution and has equal footing with speech, press, and the 2nd amendment. And as for your assertion about parking, you are failing to recognize that like sidewalks, parking is access and as such is a public area.

In Colorado, we assert the castle doctrine where a property owner has the right to defend their property and as such, have the right to say who can come on their property and restrict their activities once they are on the private property.
