As how they can tell you your gun is not wanted. That is very simple, it is called property rights. It is their property not yours. They are legally allowed to refuse service to anyone as long as they do not discriminate due to race, color, creed national origin, or sexual orientation. Unfortunately gun owners don't fall into the "protected" class. About 5 months ago I went into a local Burger King and was told that they did not allow guns there. Before anyone asks open carry is legal in Virginia. I left and filed a formal complaint with their corporate office. A few day later I got a call from the franchise owner. He asked if I had a permit. I told him permits were not required for open carry in Virginia but I did have a permit and I also have a badge. He asked if I was police and what department I was with. I told him and then he slipped that the policy only applied to employees. He asked if I would return to that particular Burger King. I told him no. There were at least 2 others in town and many more resturaunts in town. Why do I have a permit when I have a badge? Sometimes I don't want to carry my badge on personal business.
