I thought I would post the contents of a letter that I received along with my LTC A as I have not been able to find a similar post. It defines exactly what each restriction means:
None: The LTC is issued for all lawful purposes with no restrictions. This is used for all FID cards, as by statute, they may not be issued with any restrictions imposed.

Includes travel to and from activity location.

Includes travel to and from activity location.
Employment: Restricts possession to business owner engaged in business activities, or to an employee while engaged in work related activities, and maintaining proficiency, where the employer requires carrying of a firearm (i.e. armored car, security guard, etc.). Includes travel to and from activity location.
