For the property owner, wouldn't a "No shirt, no shoes, no service" sign carry the full weight of the law if the business refused to serve someone due to their dress? Businesses DO have the right to refuse service to anyone they see fit.

Businesses do have the right. Unfortunately, the law isn't always correct in acknowleging their rights. Sound familiar?

Agreed they have the right to refuse service and ask someone to leave. You hardly ever see anyone getting a misdemeanor and have the threat of losing ones rights for not wearing shoes.
farmerbob:
And the last time I looked the Constitution doesn't guarantee one's rights to go shirtless and shoeless, so why do you get asked to leave or put them on, but exercise a right, you're looking at a ride downtown in a police car.

Can you tell me what is to be gained by giving gun owners a negative image in the public's eye?

Bob, I guess you haven't read one single word I have written. Ohio, Virginia and to a smaller extent right there in Nebraska.
In Ohio a large number of open carry folks were arrested and harassed just prior to CCW.
It took 10 years for CCW to be enacted in Nebraska. In the year prior to CCW being passed a number of individuals open carried to illustrate that was the only legal option. Yes, it had an effect. The legislature decided that if people wanted to carry guns then they were going to have a say about when and where.
In Virginia it only takes personally knowing VCDL members of reading the organization website for the history of CCW and open carry in that state.
That is only three. The internet is replete with lots of other examples.
As far as Open Carry and CCW everything you have was gained by those that took a stand risking harassment and arrest. Not just in Nebraska either. When you take your note from mommy to lots of other states you are enjoying the fruits accomplished by 2A activists all over the United States.
