Unfortunately, the owner of the business has the authority to exclude them, and many do. File that under "Stupid."

For quite a while (in California) I used to hang out with a retired LA County deputy sheriff. He ALWAYS carried, everywhere, as did his LEO friends. When I was getting to know him he explained that he had arrested many violent felons who went to prison and who had vowed to kill him so he was always alert to one of them turning up to hurt or kill him. Smart man!
