However if the business has a no gun policy, you do not have the right to shop there, he can ask you to leave, if you do not, you are in violation of the law, and subject to arrest

That is 100% correct. The law that covers that is "trespass". However, they can't charge you with walking armed into their store-- only 'tresspassing' and only if you refuse to leave

TO SUM IT UP, YABOO'S, THE OWNER OF THE BOOK STORE DOESN'T WANT DUMBASSES WALKING AROUND WITH A GUN IN THE SMALL OF HIS BACK!!!!!,

So they can ask him to leave. But most don't because they don't want to lose the business.

In many states, such as Arizona, Vermont, and Virginia; open carry is very popular, and I'm aware of very few instances where a store owner has had a problem with it.

and my bet is, neither do 99% of the shoppers in the book store with him.

So the Rights of Americans are dependent on what you think shoppers think about the issue?

If your argument against carrying guns is based on what you think other people think, that is incredibly weak.

You sound like Sarah Brady.

If you think business owners don't mind people open carrying loaded weapons in their establishments, you are woefully naive. If you don't believe me call any Insurance company that writes business policies. Nice try though....lol
