Re: Buffalo Wild Wings in Tomball

I carried past a sign at my Dr.'s office an hour ago that said that state law prohibits concealed carry on their premises. I won't be writing them to correct their error.

If that were in my community, I would make a call to TABC; I bet their phone number is on the sign.

I thought the sign was a mistake when I first went in as I was expecting an "applebees" kind of atmosphere. I was going to leave, but I was with my wife and she wanted to stay, so I left my gun in the trunk of her car. After getting inside, they had a big bar and there was a lot of drinking going on. More so than I expected, so I think it was legit. The other wing places, like Wing Stop, serve beer, but are not as centered around booze at the Buffalo Wild Wings. We have at least two of those in town now, and they are really alcohol oriented. Maybe it is an El Paso thing as it appears that they are not this way in east Texas.
Maybe so, but I'd check it out. Come to think of it, our's here in Austin have a huge bar area too, but it ain't 51% posted, so who knows. The BW3 (their old name) that used to be on 6th street in Austin was most likely 75% booze revenue.

AFAIK, Texas is the only state that employs a 30.06 sign. The 30.06 sign is unique to Texas.

Why not let sleeping dogs lie? A sign that's non-compliant in Texas may be very compliant in other states of operation. Why must any Texas CH licensee call any attention to any non-compliant sign? It ain't any of our business, is it?
I agree-it is one of the nice things about TX law. I say we take advantage of it instead of sabotaging it.

As far as the negative comments, sorry, I'll do it my way, you have yet to make a rational argument and convince me otherwise, and I have yet to see one business change to a compliant one, while I have seen one take them down, so ,my record is pretty good.

I sent BWW a "CHL card" with a note explaining why I choose not to do business with them and nowhere did I mention that their current sign is non-compliant or that they should change it, only that they are driving away business with the current sign. I have yet to receive a reply so I assume their business is just fine without my money and they don't care.

Your thinly veiled attacks are just that, very thinly veiled, and as I have said before, I welcome any business putting up compliant signs, it's an expense, its large and ugly, and will serve to drive even more business away, including those who feel they are getting away with something by "sneaking" past non-compliant signs. I am asking forum moderators to take note of the personal attacks leveled at me over this issue.
It's only sneaking if you're breaking the law; just like you can't sneak into the movies if you've bought a ticket and you're old enough to see the film. There is a lot of ambiguous stuff pertaining to CC, but fortunately the law makes it very clear how the sign must be posted.

Now if a non-compliant sign does get "corrected" it won't affect you and others who "abide" by non-compliant signs; but it certainly will affect the entire rest of the CHL community, and I assuming that most of us here do not don't "welcome" compliant signs. When members disagree with an unpopular sentiment on this forum, it is not a personal attack.

Now if I've said anything that is opinion or flat out incorrect, I welcome correction.

If a business decides to give verbal notice, a non-compliant sign won't make a difference either way.

The wings were great!! I went with the Spicy Garlic & Hot variety.
I prefer Wings N More, but I will go into Buffalo Wild Wings just for an order of chips.

I need to print out those no guns = no money cards to carry around.
Non-compliant signs are not about us, they are about non-CHLs. It might as well be an "unlicensed possession..." sign. Now I say break out the card for business that post 30.06.

If it's not a 30.06 then it hasn't anything to do with a CHL, but there are some CHLs who find these signs so offensive that they must indeed point out their mistake so the company can put up an appropriate 30.06 sign that will keep us all out. That is why I consider my political affiliation to be "logical realist".
