The right to keep and bear arms is a human right that predates the U.S. Constitution. The right is not given by the U.S. Constitution, but it is enumerated in the U.S. Constitution for those who would deny that right.
The solution to the problem such as presented by the actions of BiLo is twofold. First, Constitutional Carry in each and every state, with prohibitions in law restricting the ability of businesses and organizations to restrict lawful activity in places that the public have access. Second, essentially, is that those who assert their Second Amendment rights, the keepers and bearers of arms, will become by Federal Civil Rights law a "protected class", free from discrimination, just as those who assert their first Amendment rights such as their religious preference.
We currently require businesses and organizations to follow ADA guidelines to enhance access by those with disabilities.
We currently require businesses and organizations to serve essentially all customers, not discriminating based on religious preference, race, color, creed, national origin, sex, marital status, disability, age, sexual orientation, family status, or veteran status.
We can, by law, require businesses and organizations to allow assertion of the right to keep and bear arms in a peaceful manner. Those other customers who are "uncomfortable" in the presence of other customers bearing arms will have the same remedies and accommodations as those who feel uncomfortable in the presence of others with differences such as skin color.
I am sure that the providers of psychological treatment will appreciate the increase in business from those impaired by hoplophobia. They can be helped.
Please note that the definition of "organizations" includes educational organizations such as colleges and universities, public and private, as well as public housing authorities.
