This!
Maybe the open carry group should have a meal there.
That is your choice and it is completely ok. This is arbys, it is hardly worth 20 bucks to prove to someone that I am right(not to mention a tresspassing ticket). I would just email the owner. If this is one owned by US Beef Corp, everyone already knows their policy. They tolerate concealed carry but they do not like open carry at this time.
It is still very early in the open carry scene. We do not need to do anything that will put a bad taste in anyone's mouth. We need to win over as many people as we can.
I really do not believe in pompous open carry. Your rights or not, business owners rights trumps them. He also does not give a refund for anything. If asked to leave, you have to leave. He was being nice asking you to basically conceal it by saying put it in the car.
That is just my opinion.
I have to disagree on the money standpoint. It is poor form to accept one's money and THEN tell them to leave because you don't like them. One way or another, I would not patronize an anti-gun establishment. As you stated, the manager is an authorized representative of the store owner.
Therefore he should refund the money if he's asking the patron to leave. if he tells the patron to leave, he should take the receipt and refund the purchase, even if he has to carry it outside. I agree with SMS. You're not running me out with a half eaten meal in a sack when I'm doing nothing wrong and you just don't like it. neither you nor the store manager have any right to make a decision about my money, even if its only "20 bucks".

Who said he was being pompous? He was just OC'ing, and the other guy asked about it. You're the only one assuming that he was being "pompous" about it and parading around."
I strongly disagree with the bolded part. I know current legal precedent says you're right, but the US Constitution says absolutely squat about "business owners rights." So to me that means that your 2A right trumps the business owner rights.
That is why I am against pompous open carry.
