I had TOLD y’all about Luby’s....
Instead of “no guns allowed” policies why not simply post a sign that says “Unarmed victims here, fire away!” It is the same thing and far more truthful advertising.
there ain’t nothin’ in no store, nowhere in the continental 48, that is worth more, than my life, or the life of my beloved!
There is a very simple solution to this. Pass a law stating that any company or building posting or otherwise declaring they wish for no guns on their premises is now wholly liable, 100%, for the security of people on their property.
Then pass another law stating that failure to provide adequate security in the above case is a felony.
Watch how fast those signs come down.
I just sent this article to Panera.
I can’t BELIEVE you didn’t put, “Banglist,” in the keywords.
I went ahead and put, “ArmedCitizen,” in there as well. I think it’s applicable here.
About 25 years ago, I stopped a robbery because I took my legal handgun out of my car and illegally concealed it in my jacket pocket. Until the restaurants and movie theatres start doing pat-downs, I’m just not going to take their requests seriously.
the panera bread I go to has a drive thru. I haven’t gone inside one since the this one opened.
The no guns thing will make the Michael Brown style “smash and grab” more inviting to these thugs especially in more upscale areas, knowing full well that nobody will be armed to stop them.
The walk in, smash and grab, force the customers to give up their valuables and split before the cops show up.
A target rich environment.
Of course, the anti-gun libs thought/think the mere possession of a firearm turns a normally mild-mannered person into a crazed killer.
I’d not go into a business that banned guns - OTOH, I’d not mention I have one, concealed that is.
Have had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Gratia-Hupp and hearing her speak a couple of times...
Declarations like Panera’s mean absolutely nothing to the legally armed...As private enterprises, I believe they have every right to determine their own policies including who they do and do not serve...And if their business falls off as a result, too bad, so sad...
If Victims By Choice wish to congregate in herds (the unintended consequence for them is they lose the umbrella of safety gun owners’ presence would otherwise provide) that is also their choice...And I respect their right to make it...
I choose to go about my business carrying concealed always and everywhere it is legal to do so...And the places where state and local laws declare it is not, I avoid unless impossible (jury duty, for instance)...Otherwise, covert carry means nobody would know anyway...
Places that advertise they are “Gun Free” or “Please Leave Guns...Elsewhere” simply do not get my business dollar...The list is growing...Mostly corporate chains...Pass ‘em by...No problem; there are usually ample choices among the Mom n Pop local establishments where my legally concealed arms are welcome...
Food’s much better anyway...And you’re much more likely to be dining with also-armed citizens...
I won’t patronize a restaurant that prevents me from defending myself out of political correctness.
There are evil people in this world who won’t obey the laws of God and Man. I have no intention of being a sitting duck for them.
Panera and others can go kiss my tuchis while they’re at it.
These places need to be held liable for any injury caused by their anti-civil rights actions.
These are the same people that put up “no coloreds”
I’m going to tell Panera Bread that they lost a customer. I carry my gun into restaurant and I will continue to do so.
I WILL leave my gun at home the next time I go to Panera...which will be never. I’d rather leave my money at home than give it to these @ssholes.
OK, but the shooter violated all kinds of rules.
Let that be on his conscience.
Is this the same as telling fags you bake them a wedding cake in your bakery?
But if we ban all guns, things like this would never happen.
That’s said in a voice gushing with sarcasm.
