Banks routinely prohibit firearms in their buildings. How do distinguish banks from employers— in a legal sense? Under your way of thinking, banks are violating constitutional rights when they don’t let you bring guns to the teller window. Employers can do the same thing. I tend to agree, perhaps, that employers SHOULD not have these rules, but they are allowed to. If you disagree, laws can be passed to require employers to allow guns to be owned and/or carried by employees.

Private property rights do not trump our rights to carry arms. -- Among rational people the two rights coexist without controversy.
How is your property threatened by an armed visitor or worker?

Banks routinely prohibit firearms in their buildings.

We have an inalienable right to carry arms. We've in a sense compromised that right [to appease the delicate sensabilities of banker types] by regulating it to enable 'concealed carry'.
Your banker still has no constitutional power to routinely prohibit concealed carry firearms in their buildings. -- Rational concealed carry States agree.

Under your way of thinking, banks are violating constitutional rights when they don't let you bring guns to the teller window.

You got it.
-- Now, just how is your property [or bank/business] threatened by a visitor or worker carrying a concealed arm?
