Wow you really went reaching for this. He was trespassing in private businesses after being told to leave and was found guilty.
But... but, 2nd Amendment! Freedom! Liberty! 'Merica!
Ya know...usually I'd jump right in and say no, its private business, so they can tell you to GTFO and you have no choice but to GTFO, but...that isn't standing in court any longer, so therefor, if he wants to carry his firearm in there, then if they are open to the public, then ownership should have no right to tell him to get out or to refuse to serve him.
That's by damn discrimination and NO form can or should be tolerated.
Do you have any links to information about what you said that courts are no longer allowing businesses to treat there property as private?
I'm not saying you are necessarily wrong, it's just the first I had heard of that. In fact a few months ago (in WA state) when I asked a cop in a shopping center parking lot about a pickup that was blatantly throwing their trash out onto the parking lot (as in a whole bag of it plus some misc stuff) he said their was nothing he could do about it because it was private property unless the property owner (the Cabela's store we were in front of) filed a complaint.
And are those court cases you are talking about in WA state?
AFAIK stores can ask any person to leave their premises. For example there are often times when they know someone is shoplifting, sometimes even have it on tape but it is easier to ban them than to go through the expense and hassle of taking them to court. So they just inform they they are no longer allowed on their property.
As to the discrimination -
I don't see it as discrimination when it applies across the board to all people.
It's really the same idea as a store requiring shoes or banks requiring you to remove your hat and sunglasses before entering the lobby. If the policy applies to all customers equally it is not discrimination.
The flip side of course is that if a business makes decisions / policies that piss off enough people they lose customers.
