Jeff''s (Cue) meaning of "pompous" open carry falls more to ostentatious carry. Carrying open for the sake of people seeing it and supposedly being deterred from "messing" with the carrier.
His pompous statement was more rhetorical and not a direct label of the OP's actions. When the manager of the Arby's made the store's wishes verbally to the OP, the OP did not conceal it from view. The restaurant DOES NOT need a permanent sign posting the policy. All they have to do is verbally notify.
I am not agreeing or disagreeing, this is based on what the OP stated. I am a top level 2nd amendment lover, but private property owner's rights, whether open to the public or not, SHOULD NEVER, trump a trespasser's or would-be trespasser's 2nd amendment rights.
Not saying the OP tresspassed, but he has no right to continue doing something on private property if the owner asks him to cease.
As for the asking a flamming homosexual to cease ostentatious gay behavior, that is any business owner's right. Just as the owner can ask a young couple french kissing to quit or leave.
I agree that its not worth a possible tresspassing charge or more or even causing agnostic gun owners to think gun owners are rowdy, over a $20 meal.
Conceal it and carry on or pick another place to eat. Paying for a meal does not give a person the right to violate a business' policy.
I will say this, the Arby's needs to get their **** together as to not waste our time and money if their emotions cant handle the sight of a firearm.
