McDonald's No Handgun Sign

[sgreen3]

Seeing as handguns are prohibited, its interesting that they don't allow armed police officers.

They do allow armed LEO

Hmm I guess no more Scottsburg McDonalds for me. I will have to eat at Wendys next door. SGreen do they own any more of the local franchises. No gun no money.

The ones in Hanover and Madison are owned by people of the same family not the same exact owners of the Scottsburg store.

It was 6 am and I had another hour to drive and needed coffee bad. I rarely go to McDonalds so I don't know if this sign is the norm or not. If it is I would have thought I would have heard about it on INGO.

Has anyone else seen this kind of sign on other McDonalds? This was at the Scottsburg store.

Does anyone know if this is corporate policy or is it left up to the individual franchise? I'd like to write to the corporate office and ask what their policy is, any suggestions on how that letter should go?

FWIW, the only "no guns" signs I've seen around here are at some finance company (cant recall the name) and since St Vincent's bought out Dunn Hospital. Haven't seen one at any of the restaurants here.

Maybe it just means they dont have any handguns inside, who knows.
Not smart to put that out there, criminals could see it and come armed to rob the place.

I've never noticed a sign like that here in Terre Haute, or perhaps I wasnt paying attention???

Myfitnesspal would kill me if it caught me in a mcdonalds. Mcdonalds sells straight up junk food......that I happen to love. Guess this is a good reason to say goodbye to that specific mcdonalds any way.

So rifles and shotguns are OK, awesome.

My first thought too...glad to be in good company

 

[aikidoka]

I havent had any problem OC in Hammond or Highland McDonalds thus far.

 

[CathyInBlue]

I'm about 150 miles away from Scottsburg and haven't been in a Mcy Dees in years verging on decades, but I suddenly have a hankering for ordering a 20 pack of McNuggets while my shotty is slung American style on my left shoulder.

It's already been answered, but I OC in the Mickie D's in Camby all the freakin' time. Only comments have been positive.

 

[japartridge]

I OC'ed in the PRoB today, no looks, no issues, no signs....

 

[the1kidd03]

hearing the nature of the owners (at least supposedly) only makes me want to OC in there until they ask me to leave, just to **** them off

To whom it may concern,

Thank you for ensuring nobody in your establishment is armed. It makes me feel better, knowing there are no maniacs with guns frequenting your establishment, and you can be assured of receiving my business in the future.

Sincerely yours,

James Oliver Huberty

Or to leave it in my car...I'm used to that...but I'll bet a different OC'er every 10 minutes will get REALLY annoying

Could you imagine a group of OC'ers coming in every ten minutes?

You beat me to it. That murder as well as the shooting at Luby's Cafeteria in Kileen, TX are the ones I quote people when I talk about not wanting to be defenseless in a restaurant.
