It's acceptable and expected as far as I'm concerned. Sometimes buisness owners simply like to secure their clientel. You know, a lot of liberals & sheep in california that are pure hoplophobes and seeing a firearm LEGALLY exposed on the waist can be alarming to them. Buisness owners aren't always expressing their views in their decisions, just trying not to scare people away. It all depends on how you look at the situation and how it's approached. Id prefer to disarm myself to patronize a buisness owner that politely asked me if I would feel comfortable removing my firearm & that he knows it's my constitutional right but some clients are being scared off than one that yelled at me to get the hell out and alert me they've called the cops.
