The OP stated he went into the restaurant, a cafeteria, and 20 minutes later the cops showed up. He then said said the cops showed up before he had a chance to order. Then he said they must not have cooked his food since the manager called the police.

Too many inconsistencies here for me to believe this event actually happened. I think I took the bait and got reeled up to the boat and threw the hook as the net approached me.

Further to my previous post regarding inconsistencies within this thread by the OP, I've looked back at his prior postings which demonstrate he is adamantly against open carry.

I believe he has an anti-OC agenda and he is playing us all like cheap fiddles. I am even more convinced the event in this thread did not happen. I encourage you all to review his prior comments and consider how he can't keep his story straight, even in this one thread.

We are making a mountain out of a molehill that did not exist.

I'm convinced mojo84 is absolutely correct. I did a quick search of his posts and the one quoted below is typical of his attitude toward open-carry. Couple this with his failure to respond to any comment in this multi-page thread he started and there's more reason to doubt this event ever occurred. It appears that his dislike of open-carry coupled with a total lack of anti-OC incidents prompted him to invent this story.

I have seen a world 7000 miles away where slowly, inch by inch, people were desensitized and brow beaten to a point of utter complacency that gradually over time matriculated into resentment, anger, hostility, unrest and pure heck for everyone, in the end.
My take from this post is multi faceted. First and foremost, I will not do business with establishments who don't respect my rights as an American Citizen. Their business is their business, my business is mine.
Second, I have a strong predilection to stand with folks who fall into the traps that an enemy has laid out (improper sign / no prior verbal notice in this case), and at the very least, talk about a way to approach these circumstances in a fashion that is cohesive and unitary to a cause that we all share here. That means, no name calling, scalding etc. I take that the OP simply wanted to vent in a cafe full of his friends, and having been scalded by LEO's already for what happened, right wrong or indifferent, the last thing that I'd like to get in CHL forum is another beat down. Especially from folks whom I regard as my friends with common cause. I think that over time, these forum encounters will give rise to resentment and anger I mentioned few paragraphs above, and that will not be good for anyone. There will be no winners there guys.
Our Country is slowly crumbling and freedoms are being stolen from us daily. If we don't stand together and offer some good advice, as some here have done, we simply stand no chance.

OP, I detect your frustration. I would be mad as well. Going forward, forget that place. Don't go there, don't give them a dime of your hard earned money. At the month close, when they look at their P&L, let them scratch their heads wondering where their profits went.
I would say that the biggest power that we have is the power of the purse. Use it. Don't catch yourself striking a compromise with our enemies. And anyone who double sidedly seeks to strip either our rights, freedoms or both is, in my opinion, an enemy of our way of life.
Remember that erosion is gradual and that it comes in small, closely titrated dosages.
Hang in there. Ignorance will diminish if we collectively use the power of purse to make our voices heard.

And folks, please remember Tytlers Cycle.

Stay Safe.

IF establishments learn they can post small non-compliant signs and then just a call the police to handle the rest, then you can bet they will do so.

Flintknapper has nailed my thoughts on this matter with these two gems.

I didn't believe it until both Keith and Charles stated it. I don't know how or when or understand why law enforcement has the authority to speak for a business about their policies unless they were hired employees of that business.

And if all a business has to do is call the police if they see someone carrying past any type of anti gun sign and the police tell the person they are not allowed to carry in there I foresee everyone taking down every 30.06 and 30.07 compliance sign and putting up plain ole gunbuster signs and then just silently calling the police to do the dirty work of oral notification for them.

But I doubt that most police will show up for such calls if no violation has occurred.....and absent a sign which gives effective notice, there has been no trespassing violation for police to enforce.

Of course, if you have a badge, sash, or tiara, you should be good to go........

The police had no way of knowing whether an actual violation had occurred in this instance or not. They figured it out, though, since they did not arrest the OP this time.

The business manager may or may not really know that his signs did not meet the letter of the law, but they probably do now since they OP wasn't arrested and the officers probably told him they couldn't arrest him because of that.

They gave me no warning when I went in. Cops got there beforwe I was able to order...

You said 20 minutes later. Was the line that long? I haven't seen a line that long in Luby's in many years.

Manager might of called the police. So they didnt bother cooking my food since they already knew police was on the way Im guessing
