You're not advocating conceal-carry in this thread. You're advocating something beyond conceal carry (i.e., conceal-carry + limiting private businesses' ability to accept customers). The former is a libertarian principle, but the latter is not.
That being said, I don't disagree if a private place is
widely open to the public, then perhaps persuading the owner themselves to get rid of their ban is a good idea, so ong as it isn't through another regulation.
Places with alcohol, though? No way.
