    Not a problem for me since I never eat there but if I did I would just carry in my purse like I mostly do anyway. Yes I know that would be breaking their rule but like I said I do not eat there anyway.

    Good thing that these "rules" don't exist unless you signed an agreement before eating there :)

    You don't have to sign an agreement to be guilty of trespassing. I'd be interested to hear from one of our attorneys on the idea that a well-worded sign at the door WOULD put you in violation of trespassing laws and subject to arrest without further warning.

    That's actually been discussed in another ongoing thread or perhaps earlier in this one. The thought was that a sign that said in effect "if you are carrying a gun in violation of our establishments rules then you are trespassing and appropriate legal action will occur". Quotes are to highlight the phrase but it is a loose paraphrase at best.

    I don't remember if this was state specific but the way the law was written the sign carried weight if worded correctly.:twocents:

    Yeah, I saw it mentioned earlier here, but didn't see any of our legal experts weigh in. I'll go back and see if I missed something. It *seems* that a well-worded sign would carry force of law and place you in violation of trespassing without having to be warned or asked to leave... but IANAL and didn't see where any of ours addressed it.

    The Bdubs with the sign...have you tried to OC there?


    No, with the sign present and the wife was hungry for some Asian Zing wings I just keep mine concealed since I would rather not be interrupted by someone freaking out cause I OC'd. And to be honest, I do not OC that often, I tend to conceal 95% of the time but ever so often I don't feel like covering up.

    If you don't see the sign then you really haven't been notified or warned though ;)

    Wings Etc.,





    I would like to thank you for your company's position on firearms and the
    constitutional right to carry them lawfully. It has come to my attention as of
    late that one of your competitors has started placing signs banning those
    legally carrying a firearm from their establishment, in the name of "safety". It
    is ironic to me that they think a sign will prevent those that are unsafe from
    carrying a firearm on their premesis. It is companies like yours that will
    continue to do well as American society realizes that you are safer with someone
    carrying a weapon with the intent of protecting themselves and if necessary
    others. More and more people are seeing these signs for what they really are, an
    invitation to enter and an assurance of a safe work environment for
    criminals.





    Thank you again,

    My email to wings etc. and CC'd to bdubs.

    The castleton jewery store has their sign at the bottom of the door, I never it saw till I was leaving. So no big deal. I will make them escort me to my car IF I ever buy from them. ( I'm sure I wont tho). Thugs gotta love that ,customer walks out with bag of gold and gems, and no weapon. Can you say easy pickins?

    That's alright, I'm already boycotting from terrible service and no response from any managers at any locations on multiple separate occasions. Icing on the cake!
