what strikes me as ironic, is how outraged some folks are about a company that doesn't want us.
Amen!!! Just do your part and not eat there because they have the sign, not necessarily because of their food. If your mission is to try and bankrupt TC, then stop spending your $10 inside or at the drive thru. You are just being a hypocrit when you do it. Stop blowing hot air and get these 2 simple stances in motion and let's see how long it will take for them to be financially affected into make a change in policy. Just beating a dead horse and not changing strategies in all these months.
You know what guys...I used to be just like you...I was all full of spite and malice towards a business I used to like patronizing because of the convenience and relative quality of their product...
I do not think I am at all a hypocrite or blowing hot air because I go through their drive thru, thinking I've bucked the system somehow...And the admission is only public because I know there are a heck of a lot more of us in this community that do the same thing, I am just not fearful of any scorn from anyone by admitting this publically...
One thing is absolutely for sure, and it is not a thing I would ever want to see...Taco Cabana and any other business that restricts us is NOT going to change their policy, ever...And until each and every one of those (gun-free zone) businesses have a mass shooting in them, it will never even be brought up for discussion in their mettings till something tragic like that happens...
So...
Like I've said before...This discussion has been going on and off for YEARS...And the conclusion is the more we subtly push their buttons, the harder their hearts become on the issue...And to tell y'all the bitter pill truth...That is their problem, not ours...
So I am not going to let this issue get my bowels in an uproar anymore, unless the food does it to me (and y'all do not want to be in the same county when that happens

)...
We in the CCW community around this country have learned our lesson...We know what the score is...And until these gun-free zone businesses learn the lesson the hard way...Nothing is going to change...
I'll always applaude the efforts (and participate where and when I can) to push back the infringements upon us...But this effort has always been one that has never yielded much, other than get some folks riled up...I used to be that way, but I came to see the light...And those cockroaches scatter like they always do...But they don't ever really go away...
