 If a given region bans carry, but the rest don't, and the folks in the
 rest of the country don't support a boycott by gun folk in the region
 that _is_ banning, where is the economic incentive for the banner to
 change policy?
 IOW, Denny's in Mesa bans, Denny's in Phoenix doesn't.  What to do?
 I recognize there's disagreement here, and I believe it's a valid point
 some people make to continue to patronize those outlets that don't ban
 as a matter of support.
 But I would suggest that if we don't hang together we'll hang
 separately...
