Buffalo Wild Wings Bans guns now?

[DustyDawg48]

The local one in Evansville now has that sign and it never used to. I even OCed a few times in it and never had a problem. I make better wings at home for 1/3 the price anyway.

DAMMIT! Love B-Dubs. Was it the west location?

 

[CalebToNowhere]

The solution is simple: conceal and don't worry about what the sign says.

Yep, same silent protest that I practice at Hooters.

Nice supportive protestinal approach

It's easy to ignore the sign and conceal, but you're still supporting a business who wants nothing to do with you and is happy to tell you that to your face.

^^ QFT, Scutter is exactly right on this one!

With Scutter on this one.

Don't be too with me. I still eat at BW3, I still go to the Indy Zoo, I still shop at Simon Mall. I also still write lots and lots of letters trying to get policies changed.

How about the one in Ft. Wayne? My kids love to take their kids and us there when we visit. If the sign is there I'll just CC.

I've never been. And I have always heard the food and service sucks.

So I've never wanted to check it out for myself.

Per my experience it's hit and miss, although 501% of their profits come from alcohol sales, it's no wonder they focus on that.

BW3 is hit and miss on the service. If you want wings, find a good local joint that serves them. They also have a corporate policy against firearms on the premises. Another member emailed them about this and this was their response:

Well, if anyone ever comes in to rob the bar cash registers while I'm CC'ing, you can bet your ass I'll continue to sip my drink.

Just kidding, I prefer taking my business elsewhere, so I won't be there.

Well, that settles it then! I'll get my wings @ Wings!

Dang it! Now I'm hungry.

BW3 was too expensive, and the wings mediocre anyways..... they will never get my business again. Wing Stop is much better, and cheaper.

That's exactly what I was about to suggest! +1 for beating me to the punch!!

Those laws don't have anything to do with private establishments, except the fleshing out of the "parking lot" law.

 

[bigred_dean@yahoo.com]

So true I love wings ect. It costs way less and if there pro-carry I am all in.

If the no guns isnt enough to keep folks away then go on a tuesday when they have their wing special. I couldnt believe when we got the bill and saw they added a gratuity. I asked what that was about and was told they add gratuity on wing special night because the waitresses get stiffed. After I got done laughing I asked the waitress if they realize it defeats the purpose of specials. I wont be back.

Dont know about the Wings, etc around you guys but the one in Plymouth sucks. It's hit or miss if the wings are good or dried out and it's mostly miss.
