Getting Kicked Out? (or asked to leave)

Last spring I wasn’t allowed to enter Carrabba’s in Novi. I was sitting outside waiting on my date to arrive and as patrons were walking inside some saw my sidearm and notified the manager. The manager came outside and said I couldn’t come inside with a handgun since I wasn’t a LEO. Novi police were also called and they took my personal info. I still have an audio recording of the entire incident. That was my first LEO encounter too.

Oh and then there was this ghetto clothing store on 8 mile last summer where the plainclothes security guard came outside while I was securing my bicycle and told me “You cant come in here with that.” He then pulled up his shirt to show me he was also carrying - as if to show me he had me at a tactical disadvantage. BFD. We then had brief civil debate on the merits of CC vs. OC.
Did you ever find out if the above was Carraba's corp rule, or the manager's?

My brother and I were asked to leave Cabela's once, (before they began welcoming any and all carry with open arms). It's slightly possible that our encounter is partly the reason for their change of heart. This is the only encounter I have had, where I was asked to leave...

I remember seeing this on one of the too many gun forums I haunt, this transpired a little over a year ago didn't it?
