Panera: Panera plans to continue to follow state and local laws regarding firearm policy. The chain also won't ask employees to enforce the new request or place signs about it in its restaurants.

MDA: A victory for gun sense.

Sooooo, MDA now calls guns sense flowing state/local laws which allow people to carry eeevil loaded firearms i public. Got it.

As a law abiding citizen I will comply.
But as Panera has now announced itself to be a willing victim to those who don't abide by the law I will be taking my meal-time patronage elsewhere, as I do not wish to put myself unnecessarily in harm's way.
Buh bye, Panera.

all of this is saving me a lot of money. I’m pretty much down to Chick-fil-A and In-n-Out Burger

One of the best ways to combat this is to take a large group of folks to a Panera for a "meal" and at the last moment (be sure to do this in the presence of a manager) either react to a sign or have somebody suddenly remember and raise the issue to the group and say: "Hey, aren't these the guys stomping on our rights? Let's not give them our business, let's go someplace else!" Then leave and watch the $$$$ signs drain from management faces. Maybe go as a gun club. I'm tempted to take a bunch of NRA Instructors from my area and spend an evening just cruising from Panera to Panera all over the County.

Panera is just a lousy sandwich shop that charges three times what it should for microwaved “food”. They knew they had a hit with the Starbuck$ crowd.
