Seriously?

I remember when I was a kid, I loved that place... but lately, man. I went a couple of years ago and it smelled like a retirement home and the food was bleh.

And now they're alerted to the fact that they have no signs. You were given a verbal notice, which is enough to legally prevent you from carrying inside. Calling in to complain is fine, but IMHO you should have left it at that and moved on rather than call the district manager to complain.

Second, I'm not law-abiding?

I said "other" law abiding people.

Why would you want to carry or dine at an establishment that doesn't allow us to carry?

That shouldn't matter to you as you have no input into where I choose to eat or what other businesses I choose to patronize. To my knowledge, Hooters is still gun-friendly because there are no 30.06 signs out front andI havent been given a notice.

Third, yes if I had never went to Hooters in the firs place this would still be an unknown issue. ***Subsequent comment removed by moderator***

I'm not a Hooters historian so I have no idea. Regardless, I'd recommend you work on your carry method to avoid such issues in the future.

Bye bye Hooters.

You'd think there'd be a sign they could post to indicate that...

And thats what i stressed to him, so I dont doubt they will get a sign in the future. But, probably the wrong one at first.

It's generally not a good idea to clue in the clueless when it comes to signage. That's what they pay their lawyers for.

I didn't go to into vast detail. Simply stated if you only want LEO to carry into your establishment look into getting the proper signs out front instead of having to stare down everyone.

Wait... so you TOLD him that there was improper signage out front? So rather than simply let it go and eat somewhere else, now it's likely that the rest of us who haven't been given proper notice will no longer be able to carry there once they put up 30.06?

This is exactly why we let gunbusters and similar signs alone. They do not pertain to us. If you're caught carrying, don't tell them "well you have the wrong sign up" because that will keep other law-abiding folks from carrying in there.

Last Popeye's I had was in Kandahar. Pretty terrible, I haven't been to one in the States in years though

I don't like loud places either. Bone Daddy's BBQ tends to be that way, but their food is bleh so I don't go anyway.

A single employee isn't going to stop me from shopping/eating/etc at a particular chain. The fact that the company offered the gift certificated is awesome in my opinion... I honestly wouldn't have expected an apology.

I'll continue to sped my hard-earned cash on boneless wings at the Grapevine location when I'm home

OP, have you tried the Tilted Kilt? There's one in Lewisville. Better food selection and overall nicer place IMHO, never seen one posted.

Sounds like a Hooters maybe?

I've carried in all of the "scenic views" places, at least the well-known ones, with no issues (I like the food ). You may need to change your carry method as others have stated.
