I did:
Dear California Pizza Kitchen:
I recently heard you're banning open carry at all your locations. As a long-time fan of your establishment, it is, with regret, I am boycotting your establishment.
Our Constitution, the "law of the land," and numerous court rulings, support the right of all Americans to keep and bear arms.
Criminals do not open carry. Honest, law-abiding citizens, however, do.
I ask you: Which would you prefer in your establishment? Criminals carrying concealed weapons? Or honest, law-abiding citizens who open carry?
One is a very strong deterrent to the other - one guess as to which.
Should you change your mind and decide to support honest, law-abiding citizens instead of making yourself a soft target for criminals, I will gladly return my business to your establishment.
Sincerely,
A former customer.

After reading this, I think it could be an effective letter to any establishment which bans open carry.
