i agree. though i wish i didn't have to. i think in your face actions like this do more harm than good. if they have an ask policy i will ignore and continue to conceal carry though i doubt i will visit their establishments. asking does not seem like a legal NO. my denverish local non chain food store has a NO GUNS ALLOWED sign on the door. i don't know how much weight this carries legally and will have to check.
yup...profilin long gun carriers.....like always.
I guess they don’t want gun owners to bring their dollars either.
I ate at one 12 or so years ago and have never been back.
A logical thing to do, then would be to “protest” on public property with arms in plain sight, right in from of Chipitoles, and see how they like that.
I don’t go there anyhow
Dry bland hipster fetish fake Mexican food
Hipster progressives screw up everything they touch
Mexican food like a fine lady should never be enjoyed dry
Let's try the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment:
nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.
Chipotle may decide who may do what on Chipotle property. People may decide whether they want to go on Chipotle property.
Not really:
i am mighty regular and don’t need diarrhea firehole. no loss for me.
Therefore a feasible false flag op for anti-rights libs to stage. (Not saying that’s what happened here, just musing on strategery)
When are they going to rename themselves “Luby’s?”
Biggest way to hurt them, bottom line PROFIT.
sorry, Chipotle.
We’ll go to Chick fil A
If everyone who would open carry decides not to do so, then how would a business know what keeps the majority of their customers happy?
Do you really think that a majority contacted management and said they were not happy? Or was this the weak-kneed minority who are too squeamish to defend themselves and expect jack-booted thugs to do it for them?
Obviously, the majority of Americans do not support any further gun control. There is no other possible explanation for the recent failure in a Democrat Senate to pass gun control.
Yet the anti-gunners assure us that the Senate is failing to do the will of the people.
Here in Kalifornia we await clarification of the Peruta court decision which recognizes that Kalifornia's recent ban on open carry must mean that they prefer concealed as the only legal way to bear arms.
The problem is that one cannot conceal a rifle. And yet who in their right mind can claim that our Founders were only protecting the right of the people to bear handguns.
We have a long way to go but I think now that we may get there. It's not helpful to have our side failing to recognize the RIGHT to keep and bear arms. To discourage those who would open carry is to join those who don't like the right and who would "discourage" it at every turn.
The plastic carrier fits into the magazine well. . .
"For those who carry a magazine ready with an unloaded rifle. Insert upper part into magazine well to carry loaded magazine horizontally under weapon for instant use. Release, turn mag 90 degrees, and reinsert to load weapon. Keeps dust and debris out of action."
Thanks for posting the pictures. As has been said, "An unloaded gun is just a club".
I don’t use eat out or shop places my CCW piece is NOT welcome.
It sure looks like the same product in the pictures.
Although there is a claim that it keeps dust and debris out of the action, it would appear to allow dust and debris into the magazine. With the magazine inserted, then we are theoretically "dust free".
Neither mode of carrying the magazine insures an empty chamber, so I really fail to see the value.
Neither have I and now it would seem that I now have even a bigger reason to not to.
I am a regular customer but If they post the legally required signs in my local Texas Chipotle, I will never darken their doors again. The same thing happened recently with our Sprout's here in Texas. They have not seen me since.
Micky D spun them off in 2006. I remember because my mother owned shares in MCD and called me in connection with the transaction.
Looking at the Wikipedia, it seems Chipotle was founded in Denver in 1993, and MCD invested heavily in 1998, when they had 16 restaurants. By the time MCD bailed, they had over 500. They now have 1600 locations.
