In your own home/apartment/flat etc. you are correct. In the US, the law changes if we are talking about a place of business open to the public.

In such cases, the 2nd Amendment and various state laws protect the individual's right to carry a firearm in public places just as the 14th Amendment and various civil rights laws protect the individual's right to go about in public without regard to race or other defined categories.

In short, if a person chooses to open a business to the public, they forego certain property and freedom of assembly rights.
