Panera has just added itself to the growing list of companies who are asking customers to keep their weapons at home.
The soup, sandwich and salad chain released the following statement this week: "We ask that guns not be brought into this environment unless carried by an authorized law enforcement officer. Panera respects the rights of gun owners, but asks our customers to help preserve the environment we are working to create for our guests and associates."
Here are just a handful of other companies to ask the same:

Hope for their sake they are giving away free donuts to LEOs.
Sounds like Soros Animals have been busy.
” unless they are authorized law enforcement personnel.”
The county sheriff authorized me to conceal carry.
The list of retailers I no longer patronize continues to grow.
Same here for me with Panera but you need teeth like a beaver to chew some of their bread, so no great loss.
Might as well rename them all target because that is what they are.
Panera is tilted towards female appetites with their lite fare. So guys are not too interested in it anyhow and guys are the gun carriers mostly
By being anti gun Panaera is issuing liberal propaganda to its female base. This will help sales like donating 5% to save the Whales or polar bears
Yeah, I kinda put pukenera in there with starsuks as being to hoity toity, preppy, enlightened, lib, prog for me to patronize anyway. A cup of joe and some wonder bread work just fine for me.
Gee! I wish I were a customer of theirs...so I could quit!!
Eventually there will be a mass shooting in one of these places and they’ll get sued for failure to enforce their ‘gun free’ policy. A false sense of security is no substitute for the real thing.
Ignore them what are going to search you, install metal detectors?
Just another business added to the “easy pickings” list for would be armed robbers or crazy whack-jobs.
” donating 5% to save the Whales or polar bears”. Oh man you had to got there didn’t you? LOL! We went to see the Doobie Brothers and Boston on the same bill a month or so ago. Doobies opened for Boston and since Boston was the “headliner” they had their speil posted on the backdrop of the stage. “Buy our greatest hits CD and the proceeds will go to the Shriners and.......The SEA SHEPARDS.” WHAT! Shriners, okay. Pirates, not so much. If that wasn’t bad enough, prior to the Doobies playing, Pat Simmons son (guitarist for the Doobies) came out to do a few acoustic songs. He said he just got in from Maui where he grows organic food and surfs every day and sees the pollution ruining the reefs blah, blah, blah. Hey asshat. Did you paddle board to the mainland? Did you walk from the coast on bamboo shoes all the way to Lake Tahoe? Are the amps all solar powered? Yeah, I was a little PO’d at being lectured by the little puke. Shut up and sing.
Their store, their right. That is unless you are a Christian store owner in which case you have no rights.
The thing about concealed carry is no one else should be able to tell if you are carrying.The open carry activists are causing un-needed controversy by their attention-getting antics.Just carry and be quiet about it.No silly signs on your vehicle or house attracting attention either.
Note that carrying in a government building can cause you o be arrested depending on which and where.
Well, it’s nice to have a list of places to avoid as being easy pickings for terrorists.
Simply announce that there will be no retribution for the terrorist who brings in a gun and starts shooting the place up and they will be responsible for the slaughter that occurs there.
It’s an open invitation for a disaster.
If they don’t have a 30.06 sign at the door (TX) it doesn’t matter.
Ironically, in Grand Rapids, MI, there’s a Cabela’s immediately adjacent to a Target store.
