Just found this thread.
We ate there (Portillo's in Merrilville) about two hours ago.
We were forced to use the side door as we left since a couple employees were busy cleaning the revolving door glass. I turned around to hold the door open for the lady behind me. I glanced down and there it was. A sign about knee level warning me that firearms are not allowed even with a permit and that violators would be escorted off the property and prosecuted for trespass.
I've been fuming ever since. It was lousy of them to post the sign so low to the ground and on the opposite side of the revolving door. I would have been happy to oblige them and take my money elsewhere.
Isn't that on the same wall with the old NRA sign? Seriously...I'm certain there's an NRA sign hanging in there with all of the other stuff. I think they cancel each other out, so it's just as if there were no signs at all. At least I'll tell myself that - Mmmmm....Portillos.
