Did you listen to the clip? That wasn't rhetoric. He clearly stated that his business was posted because he caters to high-profile people who want it that way. This was not playing devil's advocate or hypothetical. He wasn't simply discussing private property rights.

I don't know what it was, but it definitely wasn't rhetoric. We'll probably never know, but I suspect that his business was posted at one time; and he has since quietly removed the sign due to negative backlash.

My wife and I listened to the clip a moment ago. Here's her take:

"I have a high-end restaurant full of high-profile clientele and we're completely unarmed. It's a gun free zone; a target-rich environment just waiting for some crazed, self-loathing psychopath to commit his fame-seeking murder/suicide."

I guess I don't have the mindset of Edd Hendee or his clientele, but to me, advertising that my business is a gun free zone would be more of a liability than an asset. Isn't that the sort of thing you want to keep to yourself?

And for the record, Edd, I will no longer entertain clients at your establishment.

BTW, edd@ksevradio.com no longer works.

Someone needs to swing by Taste of Texas to confirm the posting. Take a picture if you can. The next time I'm on that side of town, I'll drop by and see for myself.
