S.C. pub sparks outrage for sign calling gun owners losers
Tea Party ^ | March 21, 2014 | Washington Times

Posted on 03/21/2014 8:16:29 PM PDT by progunner

A firestorm of backlash has been mounting against a South Carolina pub that put a derogatory sign in its store window telling gun owners to keep out. Backstreets Pub & Deli in Clemson has a one-star rating out of five on Yelp, with pages upon pages of negative comments and reviews by Second Amendment supporters. The story first gained traction when Twitchy posted several photos of the sign from Twitter.

“If you are such a loser that you feel a need to carry a gun with you when you go out, I do not want your business. Douchebag.”Don't worry,,PETE,, I or my family won't contaminate your establishment. Buy the way,, PETE,, if someone attempts to rob or harm my family or I and we inflict a case of lead poisoning onto them, I'd proclaim us as the winner(s),,,, wouldn't you,, PETE??

I’m sorry I used that language,” he told the Times. “It just came out wrong because I was frustrated.”

Well now,, PETE,, that sounds more like an excuse I'd expect out of Obama's mouth.

sign, sign everywhere a sign

I love it!
At least that business owner was up front about it.
Stupid, but up front.

Seems like an open invitation for an armed robbery there if nothing else. Why would you advertise that you don’t want guns in your place? I mean, better to say nothing or have a teeny tiny sign stating your no gun policy rather than a billboard inviting trouble in.

But, it’s his business and I support his right to restrict guns and insult gun owners if he wants. There is no law against being stupid.

“If you are such a loser....It just came out wrong?” :^D

“wrong”, or in other words, “I’m about to go out of business and so I wish I had kept my trap shut.”

Probably has the type clientele who couldn't legally qualify for a permit in the first place.

Kind of like if my dad (I'm one of progunner's daughters) put a sign on the windows of his gun shop depicting,,,, NO GUNS ALLOWED

That's not really outrage, that's just the market deciding whether his product is the best to buy. AND, helping him get his wish in clientele along the way. Not really what I'd describe as "outrage".

Is there a photo of Douchebag ? I’m thinking he must look like Zero’s Pajama Boy.

Well DOUCHEBAG,
Way to announce you are a gun free zone. Expect to be robbed in the next month or so by some criminal douchebags.

My S-I-L owns a Business in Mississippi.

When they started talking about Legalizing Open Carry there, she put a “No Guns Allowed” sign on her door. When I visited, I asked her if she thought Criminals would be deterred by her sign.

She said no, but since people come in there with their Children, she didn’t want to worry about Guns. Apparently if you don’t see a Gun, there is no need to worry.

Feelings, oh wo wo wo, feelings...

From the article:

The owner of the pub, who would only give the name Pete, describes himself as a conservative Democrat, not the "big-ass liberal" people are painting him to be.

Pete, time for a re-evaluation. LOL.
