David Harsanyi on Why Conservatives Shouldn’t Boycott Chipotle

After some zealous gun owners paraded around with
“military-style assault rifles” at a Chipotle in Texas, the
restaurant chain—which for years allowed local laws to dictate
policy regarding open or concealed weapons—has decided to “ask”
customers not to bring firearms into its restaurants. Cue the calls
for a boycott from Second Amendment fans.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with the idea of boycotting
businesses that you don’t like, though there’s typically nothing
very productive about it either, writes David Harsanyi. And while
Chipotle may be making a mistake, the company isn’t exactly
undermining our constitutional rights by asking consumers to keep
their guns out of its restaurants. If conservatives are in the mood
to boycott bad actors, there are plenty around who have committed
far more egregious sins against America.
