taco bell us31 and fry

[mike4sigs]

Since when was Taco Bell a "public business"? WTH is a "public business?

You guys do realize that the Consitution tells the GOVERNMENT what it cannot do. It does not apply in any way to a private individual or business?

What sloughfoot says is on the money
PRIVATE business is private property ! and you must play by the owners rules ! If the person in charge ask you to cover it up or/take your weapon to the car or leave . you better/should or he has a good case for trespassing !

This thread is so ripe for a spoof, when are we going to hear from the manager?

I hope not. That "spoof thread" bit is such a tired and unfunny joke.

I wonder if the reason he "got an attitude" is because instead of answering his question, you lectured him on open carry. Seems like a simple "yes" or "no" would have been sufficient. I wasn't there, and I can only go by your description of the encounter.

Look up "public accommodation". Once a business chooses to open its' doors to the public, there are limits on how it can treat people.

Modern Gunner's idea is right on the money.

I wonder if the store manager would ask a LEO to leave if he was open carrying...

I looked it up and it was civil rights amendment (1964) I.M.O it is talking about discrimination ! not about trespass and carrying a weapon on private property !

Also if the manager is a ass hat all the time he is not discriminating is he !

And i hate to be the one that brings it up ! BUT this very conversation is the reason I Conceal carry!

I would get incredibly irate and start mumbling about another homophobic store manager refusing to serve gays as you pull out your phone and talk about calling your lawyer. Ask the guy to spell his name and the name of the owner of the store. totally put him on the defensive. You'd probably get free food.

I'm confused and admittedly it doesn't take much these days, who is the homo in this approach? The OP or the poster?

Possibly neither, who knows?

The point is discrimination (or accusations thereof) against homosexuals is much more likely to grab the attention of corporate than discrimination against an OC'r.

It's kind of a dick move IMHO, and very much akin to playing the race card when it is not warranted. But the fact of the matter is that it WILL get the attention of those in charge.

 

[X piller X]

I don't expect much to happen. I worked for the company when I was a teen, and hardly ever did corporate get involved. Still I think I'll inform them how their manager was treating customers.

 

[churchmouse]

Taco Bell ain't even food.

No it is not. It is the Mexican phone company.

 

[chezuki]

May not really be food, but I'd tear up a Crunchwrap Supreme right now!!

I thought I was typing in purple, you are absolutely correct!!

public accommodation has nothing to do with the 2nd amendment. If a taco bell customer was asked to leave because his race was disturbing other customers, that would be disturbing. Asking someone to leave for carrying a firearm is no different than asking someone to leave because they have an Obama shirt on.

meh, someone was bound to do it, might as well be you.

Though I am curious, do you really cover it up just so nobody will ask if you ever have issues carrying unconcealed?

And even if they did ask, couldn't you just respond with "nope" and continue on with whatever you were doing?

No, public accommodation is not currently about 2A. However, you didn't read ModernGunner's suggestion and completely missed the point. He suggested that businesses which serve the public should not be allowed to discriminate against legal gun owners, just like they can't discriminate based on race, etc. I think he is on the right track.

Ohh I read it, I just don't equate discrimination as a gun owner anywhere near the same universe as discrimination by way of race.

 

[longbarrel]

NO public business should be allowed to violate the Indiana or U.S. Constitutions under any guise of "private property". A city or town cannot write an 'ordinance' that preempts gun carry laws, NO business should be able to do it, either. That would put a stop to this nonsense.

As much as I hate agreeing with Destro, he is right. You can choose not to carry a gun (by why WOULD you?!) but you cant choose to be black, etc.

Me? I choose to dine where they WANT my business.

Looks like there is enough butthurt here to go around.

I think I'll stick to Egg Roll #1
