It appears you saying that, if you felt compelled to carry in your workplace where company policy (not a properly-posted 30.06 sign) forbids it, you would resign from the job rather than break a spoken or written company policy.

YEP! You said it better than I did ... thanks!

I'm all for an open economy and the idea that eventually the businesses that do things right will succeed and those that dont wont...so on the surface that would mean all businesses should be allowed to make up their own minds about carrying. People that dont like that wont work there. Eventually the business will have to change their policy or continually increase pay to attract workers, which will make them uncompetitive, which will make them change their policy

Thats all well and good in an academic sense, but let me throw this out there...why do we not believe the same would happen with regards to minimum wages, labor conditions, occupational safety and health standards, etc.? Why are any of those more important than the businesse's individual and property rights and therefore allowed to trump said rights?

Capitalists do.
