Within reason you would be incorrect. I am a lawyer so please factor in some 4 decades of experience and knowledge. There is a world of difference between T-shirts with logos and SECURING A PRIVATE BUILDING. A private property owner can do ANYTHING legal to secure his property - and all this theater was doing was making sure that they knew who had firearms and where they were sitting. It is their right - and private property rights reign supreme in these circumstances.
I didn't care. You have a right to care - and you have a right to leave. And never go back! But you do not have a right to object to it.
