It’s their property and it is theirs to control. Just like people are in control of whether they eat there or not.

As far as open carry to me its a dumb idea to advertise that you are armed. But if people want to that’s up to them.

They banned Police in uniform?

People don't like companies telling them what to do, how to live, and especially
messing with our Constitutional rights. They can rot out of business, and deserve it.

And it's not something that will happen all day long either, it's just the fact
they've decided to take an anti-American stance on the 2nd Amendment. Which is ironic
because the Second protects the first which gives them the right to do this.

I guess they are doing so well they can afford it.

Didn’t Starbucks [somewhat recently] allow open carry and reverse themselves on it?

So just conceal like we’ve been doing for years.

If they posted a 30.06 sign it would be a different story.

IMHO open carry just tells the bad guys whom they need to take out first.
