More fallout from past events.

Moms Demand Action at work again. :mad5

Sonic and Chili's are telling patrons to leave their guns at home.

not really sure how Sonic is going to work this since it's an outdoor type of place?

And the fallout continues. When are these people going to get a clue?

Chili's, which is owned by Brinker International, said Friday, "We kindly ask that guests refrain from openly carrying firearms into our restaurants and we will continue to follow state and local laws on this issue."

:iagree:
I don't believe any of the companies involved so far have put up 30.06 signs.

I will really be disappointed if Chili's throws up a 30.06 sign. I frequent their establishment at least once every couple of weeks. I spend a lot of dollars there but will no longer if they decide to refuse me the right to protect myself and my family members.

A 30.06 sign, in fact not being able to carry a gun, does not refuse you any right to protect yourself. It simply limits your tools you can use to do so.

The OC fanatics must not be able to think very clearly.

They openly carry long guns and handguns on to a business’s property and say “the constitution gives us the right to do this”. The business reply is “oh is that so?” The business then bans guns on the property.

Do the OC fanatics learn anything? Do they learn that the Constitution allows businesses to ban guns on their property? Duh, they just do it again, with the same result.

In the process they give the anti gunners a boost.

The OC fanatics are going to undo what a lot of people worked long and hard to accomplish. As a matter of fact if the antis are smart and dedicated, they would have some “plants” in the OC organizations
