Why did you even inform the managers that you’re packing when you have a CHL?
There was a Chinese restaurant in Houston that had a sign up that stated that they did not want any armed customers.
I entered the restaurant and told the manager that I was leaving again because of his obnoxious sign. I then stood outside the restaurant and waited for the next group of honkeys to approach and told them in a loud voice that, if they were packing, they would not be welcome, while the manager observed me through the plate glass window.
The sign has disappeared.
It wasn't so much inform as it was "Hey guys, what's your policy about...". I'd known them for quite a long time, and felt sure I knew the answer, but just wanted to see what they'd say.
