You cannot refute:

It is the public policy of the United States that our right to carry arms shall not be infringed.
Private property owners who prohibit concealed carry of arms by their invited visitors and/or business associates are, in effect, thumbing their nose at one of the Constitutions primary principles.

The Brady bunch types want everyone in the USA to believe; - that property rights trump our right to carry arms.
Actually, the two rights co-exist quite well, as your visitors who carry - contribute to protecting your property from criminals.

I am amazed at how many conservatives are only interested in property rights when the owners of the property want to protect conservative interests.

Why do you say it is "protecting conservative interests" to ban concealed carry on your property?

Because it respects property rights and does not infringe on the 2nd amendment. The 2nd amendment does not give you the right to trepass. If I throw you off my property for any reason, you can not trump that right unless you are talking public or private neccesasity (safeguarding human life, preventing further property damage, etc, etc). Your lame attempt to claim that I cannot refuse you entry on my land because you are armed, have short hair, wear glasses or anyother reason does not fly. Property rights do not trump civil rights, but your civil rights grant you or anyone else the right to trepass....
