There are some time, place, and manner restrictions on 1A rights. There will probably also always be some on 2A rights. The question to hash out now is, where do we draw the lines?

The "common sense" answer is to prohibit weapons in prisons, jails, the lockup area of police stations and sheriffs' offices, and (probably) courtrooms and pre-trial holding facilities. Period.
Private property owners should be allowed to post their properties as off-limits to firearms.
HOWEVER, any facility, gov't or private, which prohibits the carrying of weapons should be required to have an adequate number of secured lockers at EACH ENTRANCE where visitors can secure their weapons while inside. ALSO, private facilities should, by statute, be strictly liable for any injury to a patron which could conceivably have been prevented had the patron been armed.
