businesses that ban guns...remember Luby's cafe....

[M14 Shooter]

There's nothing that gives one a feeling of safety and security like having lunch, surrounded by strangers carrying AR-16's with no particular requirement for training for the proper use thereof.....

Oh look.. another anti-gun loon that doesn't know what he's talking about...

 

[M14 Shooter]

Guess what?
Private business owners can choose what happens in their business. They have the right to tell people to leave their weapons at home.
If you don't like it that's tough.
It's called FREEDOM.

As is any effort to boycott said businesses because of their policies.

 

[M14 Shooter]

If you think that regular people are going to go someplace that has people who open carry guns you're nuts.
Most regular people aren't going to go into that business.
In fact most people will be too scared to be around that gun.

True. Irrational fear makes people do a lot of strange things.

You go ahead and show off your rifle at Walmart. I'll be shopping at Target which asks people not to bring their rifles in to the store. After all, I'm irrationally afraid of strangers carrying weapons designed and built to kill, in places where there is no rational need for them to be carried.

Clearly.

Yes they do. I also have a right to buy goods and services where I want as well...that too is freedom...

 

[Mad Scientist]

I never liked Panera Bread even before this.

Wanna' get fat and ruin yer health? Go to Panera bread.

no rational need for them to be carried.

Hmmmm...seems to me that Texas thought there was no rational need for people to be able to carry guns into restaurants. Then a mad killer crashed his pick up truck through Luby's windows, and started killing all the people who obeyed that law...including this woman's parents.

Now...can you tell me that those people knew what was going to happen on that day, at that restaurant? Are you one of those psychics who can tell the future...because if you are...you should hire yourself out to the police and emergency services....or you should make phone calls to warn these people before the killing starts...

I have no problem with sidearms carried. I just think carrying rifles and shotguns into restaurants is childish and insane. Can you stow it properly? Can you sit and eat while controlling your weapon? The answer to both questions is 'No'.

 

[Vandalshandle]

I have no need for a high powered rifle in a restaurant. I also have no need for hand grenades in a restaurant. In fact, having entered stores on average of every 2 or 3 days until my present age of 70 without ever having suffered any consequences, pretty much assures me that it is perfectly rational to leave my weapon in the car, which, in fact, I do. But, maybe I have just been lucky in that I seldom share aisle space with anyone packing heat. I intend to continue that policy.

In fact most people will be too scared to be around that gun. They will go to other business that rightly don't allow people to walk around with their guns.

I was on a ferry once and saw a man walking around with a gun in a holster on his hip. It scared the crap out of me. I noticed most of the other people were upset and were heading for the door to go to their car.

I joined a long line of people who went back to their cars and locked the doors.

You must live in a liberal bubble city. I see open carry in supermarkets around here and it's an urban area, not in the sticks. Not often but it happens. I don't do it myself but I don't see people fleeing or peeing themselves either.

The problem is that unless you are in a liberal Mecca there are people carrying all around you, you just don't know it. And not all of them law abiding.

Yep. I live in an ultra leftist, socialistic society, tottering on the edge of communism.

Southern Arizona.

And you don't see open carry on a regular basis? I call bull.

Bloomberg has a heavily armed security team. It's too bad that he doesn't apply the same rules to his hypocritical Jew ass. He'd be dead in a month.

 

[thereisnospoon]

Bloomberg's bodyguards, he has like 23 of them, carry guns.

Why not? He probably gets a lot of threats from gun fondling pussies.

Rescind your membership to USMB....FAST..

I agree with you that the open carry of rifles or shotguns in a restaurant is the height of insanity.

Hmm. Israel. Switzerland....Two countries where law enforcement openly carries automatic long arms.
No one bats an eye.
Anyway, the idea of restaurants and other public conveniences banning the carrying of firearms based solely on sensitivity toward political correctness is insane.

 

[thereisnospoon]

As the various anti gun groups associated with Michael Bloomberg try to stifle the right to bear arms by pressuring restaurants and other businesses...it may be time to remember Luby's cafe...Panera bread has become the latest to ask it's customers to disarm when they patronize the restaurant...

The Luby s Cafeteria Massacre A Brutal Reminder to Restaurants Telling Customers No Guns - Katie Pavlich

In 1991 Texas residents were banned by law from bringing firearms into restaurants. That same year, a mad man with an intent to kill as many people as possible, crashed his truck into a Lubys Cafeteria in Killeen. The man got out of his vehicle and shot 50 people, killing 23 of them. One of the survivors, Dr. Susan Gratia-Hupp, had left her gun in the parking lot and watched as her parents were executed in front of her. She was following the rules and obeying the law by leaving her gun in the car, right where the killer knew it would be. As Hupp describes in her own words, it was like shooting fish in a barrel. Everyone was defenseless.

As a survivor of the Luby's massacre, Hupp testified across the country in support of concealed-handgun laws. She said that if there had been a second chance to prevent the slaughter, she would have violated the Texas law and carried the handgun inside her purse into the restaurant. She testified across the country in support of concealed handgun laws, and was elected to the Texas House of Representatives in 1996. The law was signed by then-Governor George W. Bush.

I remember hearing her testimony...during the attack, as she was laying there watching the killer execute defenseless people she stated she had a clear shot at the guy...but because the law forced her to disarm....she never had the chance to take that shot...

you can add other restaurants to the list...Brown's chicken in Palatine
Illinois...and others where killers had free reign due to an unarmed clientele.

the author of the article Katie Pavlich went to Gunsite last year, a gun fighting school founded by the legendary Jeff Cooper, and took their pistol and rifle courses....she wrote good pieces on that experience as well...she is no longer someone to trifle with...

Guess what?

Private business owners can choose what happens in their business. They have the right to tell people to leave their weapons at home.

It's called FREEDOM.

Oh...So those same businesses have the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason they see fit?
Gotcha....
BTW. Those signs are not legally binding.
