The Sea Bears Ogden Fish House has become prosperous as a restaurant that welcomes and practices the open carry of firearms. They have done so well they needed to move to a larger venue. That venue was Union Station in Ogden.
There are four museums at the station. One is the John M. Browning Firearms Museum, another is the Utah State Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, a third is the Browning Classic Car Museum, and the fourth is the Utah State Railroad Museum. It seems like a good fit. From standard.net:
For more than a year now, owners, employees and patrons of the restaurant at 2550 Washington Blvd. have been invited to open-carry the firearm of their choice in the establishment. But with the recent announcement Sea Bears is relocating to the former site of Union Grill, Ogden’s Union Station officials now say they won’t permit openly carrying a gun there.
The Secretary of the Union Station Foundation, who did not negotiate the contract, said that several specifics were agreed to, including that owners and servers could only carry weapons if they had training, if they were in holsters, and if they were no more than 12 inches long. The secretary, Trentleman, claims that there was also a provision that open carry could be banned if “there were an issue”.
I would like to see the contract. It would be rather peculiar if one of a buisness’ main draws were made subject to the whim of the landlord.
On Friday, 19 August, the Union Station put up “No Open Carry” signs. It is not clear if the signs are legal or not. Open carry is legal in Utah. The Union Station is a non-profit.

... and they immediately caved...
They immediately agreed.
You can’t open carry, in an open carry state, In a station that Houses the John Moses Browning firearms museum?
That should be Holy Land.
It would be like banning the open wearing of the Cross in St. Peter’s Square - on Easter Sunday!
Okay, really? A man wearing a skirt carrying a sidearm? Not impressed.
You really don’t know what a kilt is? Seriesly?
Uh oh, now you’ve done it. A kilt is NOT a skirt.
“Okay, really? A man wearing a skirt carrying a sidearm? Not impressed.”
That’s not a skirt ye Sassenach.
Tha’ rag on th’ wee boy is nae a kilt.
Next time you see the local police and fire pipe and drums regiment marching in a parade, you should go up to them and tell them they’re wearing skirts.
It’s a standard utility kilt.
Grow up! The Scots have been vaunted warriors since FOREVER!
I think that gun has headspace issues.
I’ve never seen a shotgun used to launch a rifle cartridge. Interesting!
Wow. A weapon that fires the entire cartridge, not just the bullet. . . .
BUT...
They can proceed to see about that whole leaping over tall buildings thing. I'll even let'em cheat and start up at the top! d;^)
Groundskeeper Willie: “Now the kilt was only for day-to-day wear. In battle, we donned a full-length ballgown covered in sequins. The idea was to blind you opponent with luxury. [Bart ties a set of balloon to his kilt, making it fly off with them and show his buttocks, which makes everyone gasp.] Aah, ‘tis no more than what God gave me, you puritan pukes.”
Bart: [hides behind a tree and laughs.] “That’ll hold me. At least until I get my hands on some kind of explosives.”
That’s hilarious.
So they have new ammo in which the cases fly with the bullet? What won’t they think of next?
