I am not suggesting anything, bdickens.
I happen to agree about selecting whom you do business with, when you have that option, based on whatever reasons you choose including whether they will allow you in there carrying.
However, for example, I understand Taco Cabana (hey I'm in TX... love that place) posts no guns and there really is no equivalent competition for that place. So you know, I have to balance my love for their verde salsa against my distaste for their policy on carrying guns. So this is basically the same argument about whether to use power from the anti power company or phone service from the anti phone company, or even mail from the USPS... you can either do without that product that you desire from the provider and make a stand, or you submit. Now you may have varying degrees of tolerance for doing without the product, but in the end, this is a case by case choice.
Now I do not yet have my CHL in TX so this is an academic issue to me right now. However I think it's not just so simple that you can say that in all cases, you are going to do either A B C D or E above. It varies, depending on convenience, your perceived risk, and tolerance for doing without whatever unique thing you get at the place of business.
