Cool. I go past that one all the time, but have stayed away from it since as I understand it that's their corporate policy. Same thing for the Smoky Bones down the street... I'm not real rabid about gun rights usually, but there are too many other options in that area of town.

Thank you very much! I'll have to stop by there and let them know they won't be getting any of my money either. I doubt the manager will care, but the more he hears it the better. Everyone here who is local should do the same.

Thanks for standing up for what is right.
I smiled as I read it. Reminded me of when I closed my Wachovia account, it's always fun to be face to face explaining why they have caused themselves to lose business. |

Quoted: My friend said "the hell it doesn't, I am not eating in a place that discriminates against lawful CCW holders". I'm just a bit confused. State law prevents CHP holders from carrying concealed there. Their open carry policy prevents the rest. BWW policy has nothing to do with CHP holders...just lawful gun owners who open carry. They won't have any of my business for their anti-gun policies but as of this time it's not a concealed carry issue. However I do find their open carry/leo hiprocracy laughable at best. Clueless to the end. |

Woden
I guess the wording could have been different, but it was not. If your just out to find errors with peoples post, then I guess you have nothing better to do. It was the thought that counted. Next time I will kepp my comments to myself and let you find out for yourself... For the rest, thanks. For those who know me I am always looking out for others and though you might just want to know what I had just recently found out. A letter to BWW is going out later this week tellng them how we are not going to be visiting their establishment. Side note...will be at LGC from 1000-1300 trying to get this shooting thing out of my system for the week (working this weekend)..lol |

Quoted:
I guess I should have paid better attention to previous posts about his place. Three officers and myself got back from the gun show and decided to get some wings. When we seen the big sign on the door saying "no guns allowed" we were all shocked. On of my buddies went inside and asked for the manager and asked him about the sign. He said "it does not apply to you guys". My friend said "the hell it doesn't, I am not eating in a place that discriminates against lawful CCW holders". He then said we are going to go back to our departments and tell every officer to avoid this place. The managers jaw dropped as we walked out. He followed up to the parking lot explaining that it does not apply to officers. We all looked at him and said "it is discrimination, and we will not stand for it. We will take ours and others officers business elsewhere". We left with a big grin on our faces as he was still in the parking lot. That is their loss...We are never going back until they change policy... When they get robbed and call 911, show up but refuse to go inside! |

Clueless to the end. In Alabama the sign applies to open or concealed carry. A property owner has the right to put up this sign, and I cannot conceal carry there. (Edit: Or I can be asked to leave and not come back...not breaking a law.) So, I eat wings elsewhere! |

Many folks carry concealed most of the time, and open carry in restaurants to remain legal. The officers told an anti-gun business to stick it. Open carry or concealed, we should be grateful. I am. |

Quoted: It was the thought that counted. Darn right! Don't let a nit-pick or two get to you. BTW, I was so impressed, I cross-posted here: http://opencarry.mywowbb.com/forum54/31844.html Everyone I've met from that site is good people; most are active in VCDL too. People on forums are often motivated to post only when something bad happens, so the perception of police over there can get a little skewed from the typical. Thus I felt I'd post a positive story. |

It was the thought that counted. Next time I will kepp my comments to myself and let you find out for yourself... Wasn't trying to nit-pick as some have posted. My first sentence stated my intent. Sorry I was confused. I open carry. As often as possible. I educate those that ask me about it. I appreciate you open carrying and educating those who you feel need it. I'm glad you are letting them know the error of their ways. And hopefully this next year it will be less of an issue once we get the retaurant ban fixed. There is no other issue that irks me more than that one. If my post came off as nit-picky then I apologize. It was not my intent. I have worked as hard as I can to make the restaurant issue go away by recruiting friends, family, and others to join the VCDL and become active in 2A issues. |
