Cimarron: If the law requires you to notify the home-owner then it is a reasonable expectation that you would do-so. That's not the case in most states.
FuglyStick: I understand your concern. Knowing that I would not carry into your home without first getting your permission. But for everyday happenstance I am not going to ask for either of these two reasons: If I am friends with the person I probably know what they are OK with and don't have to ask; If they are a stranger I am not going to 'jump on my sword' by exposing the fact I am carrying a weapon.
There is nothing wrong with lawful CCW. I also always carry a knife, which is a weapon as well and (realistically) can likely be employed more effectively inside the confines of (your) home than a firearm.
No, I don't see a difference between someone's place of business or their residence with regard to CCW. I will honor the (disclosed) preferences of either location. If you have a problem with someone lawfully carrying the burden is on you to make your preference known, not the other way around.
There are some things which society has accepted as inappropriate (wild crazy sex in a supermarket) and has passed laws against. We have voted (in most states) and chosen to allow CCW in homes UNLESS the HOMEOWNER forbids it.
Would you expect an off duty FBI officer to tell you "Hey, I know I'm off duty and all, but I have to carry a weapon anyway so I have a 1911 on my hip and a secret backup gun that nobody is supposed to know about on my left ankle?"
