If you don't drink, why go to bars? Intoxicated folk who open carry are easily disarmed. Also i can imagine a business owners insurance company finding out he allows open carry of loaded firearms in his establishment, and thus his insurance premiums rocketing out of control, or his insurance being canceled outright. ONLY MORONS CARRY OPEN WEAPONS INTO BARS!
Sometimes you're out with other folks that want to go there after a movie or resturant or whatever. Also, the way many state edicts are written, portions of resturants qualify as bars. So while it's "legal" to carry in Outback Steakhouse, it's "illegal" to carry in the area of the restuarant which is a bar. Which is another stupid law.

Why do you so arrogantly assume that anyone who open carries into a restuarant gets drunk?

I really don't care what the insurance companies think. If "insurance companies" were allowed to set policies, there would be NO guns anwhere. Screw them.
But back to the original point, citizens peaceable armed in places that serve alcohol isn't a problem. There is no evidence to the contrary.
