With more people than ever getting their CHLs, there are fewer places restricting them. Heck, I just helped a guy pick out a holster for his CCW tonight at work...and I'm a librarian Edit: By the way, I can't carry at work due to signage.

How do I know? I had the same situation with a chain in my hometown that banned carry about two years ago. It was fairly well publicized. As far as I can tell, they're still in business, and not hurting enough to reconsider. I tried talking to someone at the corporate office at the time, but the chest-beaters had gotten to them first, and the litany of verbal and written abuse had worn them down to the point that they were uninterested in any dialogue on the matter. If the opportunity still exists in Ohio, it might be worth sitting down in person with someone from Applebee's and talking to them. Otherwise, their business, their call.

There's a fine line between having our rights recognized and respecting the rights of property owners and their establishments, both business and private. I'm all about protesting and voting with your wallet when you feel there's an agregious policy in place, but keep in mind that at the end of the day; it's their private property, and they can restrict just about any activities they wish. Just as you may restrict activities that occur in your home/on your property.

Pistolero; true.
I really don't have a dog in this fight, as I live in Florida, and there's way too many alternative places to eat to fight with Applebees on this one..... |

To me it is about using all tools to effect a change in policy. No different than me calling my Political reps and getting on their case.
Apathy is the true killer.
