Starbucks CEO simply asked folks to stop using his stores as a stage for groups to gather and show off open carry.

he didn’t “ban” it.

The mayoral candidate should consider CCW, however.

"For these reasons, today we are respectfully requesting that customers no longer bring firearms into our stores or outdoor seating areas—even in states where “open carry” is permitted—unless they are authorized law enforcement personnel."

I recall a coffee shop telling on duty cops they couldn't “carry” on the premises because their customers said seeing the firearms made them “uncomfortable.”

I *think* it was a Starbucks but I could be mistaken.
