You're exactly right, Keen. That is indeed the crux of the issue.
If you want to go about your business in public 'merely' carrying a slung rifle then be my guest.
If you want to enter a hypothetical restaurant for which I am responsible with long-arms slung in the front, magazines in giving the appearance of a loaded gun and your hands on fire control it will be seen with hostile intent and treated accordingly. Your fault, not mine.
Bring a long-arm into a hypothetical restaurant for which I am responsible in some other condition and you will be ridiculed, castigated and asked to leave. If you refuse things will escalate to whatever point you determine by your actions to be necessary.
"Merely" openly carrying a long gun into a restaurant? "Peacefully attempting to enjoy a meal"? I find your arguments laughably asinine. Return to your coloring books, please. Don't choke on the crayons...
