Even if you're not openly carrying at the moment,go into a place of business that bans open-carry,find the manager, and say, "See my gun on my hip? [or if you're not carrying at the moment, say, "I carry openly most of the time."
Then say, "Your store forbidsopen carry. Youjust lost a direct sale, a repeat customer, and all the friends I can talk into staying out of your store." Then just leave.
If you want to escalate to the nuclear level, do what I did a few years back when a store pissed me off for some forgotton reason: I started sending them postcards, but to the corporate headquarters. Thepostcard is so that everybody from the mailroom on up can read it.
Send it to the CEO or CFO, and on it, give them three facts: first, a one-sentence statement of what they did to you; second, the current sale that you were able to deflect toa competitor, and third, the total dollar amount of sales you've cost them to date.
Example:
"You sold me a microwave that didn't work, and you refused to take a return. So I'm trying to cost you money wherever I can."
"Yesterdaymy office mate said she's coming to buy a refrigerator at your store. I talked her into going somewhere else to buy."
"This would have been a $600 sale for you. So far your dishonesty with me hascost you about $9000.00. Live long and prosper."
This technique applied to gun-banning stores might work like this:
"You refused to serve me while I was openly wearing my legal sidearm."
"This card marks the ______th person I've talked out of shopping with you."
"As of today,your anti-gun agenda has cost you $________."
