I need a list of places not to go.
Correct...Private busineses may set their own policies...
Private citizens may set theirs...
My policy: I don’t patronize businesses where my gun is not welcome...
Easy, peasy...
Both of the Sonic drive-ins around here closed within 3 years of their opening.
Tried Chilis once, never went back. If I want overpriced, pre-prepared food that came out of a vacuum-sealed bag in the freezer, I’ll go to Applebees. (which I only visit for an occasional “Perfect Margarita”)
Ok, no more Chili’s or Sonic for me.
The Sonics I’ve seen are drive-ins, throw-back to the old days. Really not sure about this story, I think they are headquartered out of Oklahoma too. If you have a rifle rack in your car/truck, are they going to call the cops or what??
Oh come on.. Really? Bunch of guys walk into a restaurant carrying assault rifles and you take issue with the restaurant? This is nothing more than a small group of people picking a fight.
I used to shoot a pistol match on Sunday and when it was over about 75% of the shooters went to Sonic before heading home. No telling how many accidental and intentional shootings we were responsible for in all those years with our vehicles loaded with handguns. Offhand, I can recall... zero.
Sonic Drive-In and Chili’s Grill & Bar both issued statements Friday requesting that customers keep their guns out of their restaurants even if they have an open carry permit
Sonic is not a restaurant but a drive in. You are in your car what can they say?? How would they even know? Chili’s, never been and had no plans to be so no problem there.
Everything I've read on this board and others about carrying suggests to do so in a manner that doesn't draw undue attention to yourself.
I find it humorous that the people that want to carry long rifles into restaurants, because they believe they have that right, apparently care nothing about the rights of the restaurant owners.
If you walk into a restaurant with a long gun, I strongly advise you to not make any sudden moves, because I’ll have spotted you, and have my hand on my concealed carry. No way to tell that you’re not a troublemaker.
I take my gun everywhere.
I conceal carry WHERE I go here in Arizona. Sign or no stupid sign. What are they going to do ... frisk me. Screw these idiots
Isn’t Sonic a notorious donor to the Rat Party?
Slow learners.
Sonic?????
You don’t “go in to” a Sonic!
You drive thru or get served in your parking space by a car hop!
I took a look at Sonic’s Facebook page. Looks to me like a bunch of Moms That Need Some Action and their metrosexual pw’d husbands have been called to action, lots of them from back east (like I worry about what some idiot Bloomberg-brigade woman from New Jersey thinks!). Being in Oklahoma, I may let Sonic know what I think about this, or I may just silently never return to their drive-in.
I’ll say what I said earlier. Show up there with your family, ask the babe (politely) if they have a problem with concealed guns. If they say yes, then have your wife say something like “Black Angus (or whatever)” is good with concealed guns, and you say, “ok, hun, let’s all go there instead”.
If we simply don’t show, they’ll never know that we’re boycotting - we do not have a good record with successes.
