Whether the bar owner was legally entitled to carry on the exact square foot of ground he was standing on is irrelevant. It would be a misdemeanor if he were in the wrong.

Maybe the open carry advocates can explain how someone who "sees a gun" is entitled to shoot the person with the gun. That could get messy if it were a widespread practice.

Well, logic would dictate that “seeing a gun” in a holster would not be justification to shoot. If the gun is in the persons hand pointed at the ground that would still not be justification to shoot. Raising the gun in your direction or pointing it at you would be justification to shoot.

Just my opinion. And I am not an open carry advocate.
