[QUOTE="aestus, post: 1161370, member: 2989"] That's not always true. Some businesses have little to no OC/CC customers and the number who don't OC/CC outweigh those who do. In my case, we have a no firearms sign due to the lease we have with the property owners. We've only received one complaint so far for the no firearms sign in the year or so that we've been in business and that was someone who wasn't even a member or an office holder. It wasn't even a formal complaint, someone just passively mentioned it to me. We deal with technology professionals, entrepreneurs, designers, and programmers. Typically these people are "centrist" in their views with a slight lean to the left or right. Most will have little to no interest in firearms and some are outright against it. These aren't liberal hipsters, but business professionals and technology professionals. I've tried to remedy this by organizing events where I invite these professional out for some fun out in the range with other "technology professionals and entrepreneurs" to show them that firearms aren't something that only "wanna be cowboys, tea party members, and neo conservatives" partake in, because honestly that's what they think of when they think of firearms and it's that image that keeps them away from firearms. We had our first one at H&H and it was a success and have received numerals emails about organizing a 2nd one, which I will soon. Anyways, I'm getting off topic... For most businesses, I would even argue that the "loss" of OC/CC business and customers would be so little that it's negligable and not even worth worrying about. If anything, some businesses would run a greater risk of losing business from non OC/CC customers due to complaints of people open carrying in the business. [/QUOTE]
