Really? He said (note the highlighted area):

I am a business owner and do not place any restrictions on my customers as long as they are not disruptive or engaging in unlawful conduct.
Should businesses that accommodate the general public such as retail stores and malls be able to prohibit firearms on the retail floor or other public areas of their businesses?

So my clownass friend (love that term!) he asked about the ability (that is a question of law) not the advisability (a question of retail management). The short answer is stores already have that ability and I know of no state that restricts it. Now if you want to ask the question sans the "be able to," you will have what you want.
