Coming to a Chipotle near you!

criminal invite!
Especially the police.
Yesterday, I bought a good sized ax at Menard's, carried it on my shoulder all the way to the cashier and then to my car in the parking lot.
Not any different than carrying a "good sized rifle".
If businesses are going to ban guns, they should ban all tools.
Some jerk starts showing his rod in a restaurant, I’m going to be in reasonable fear for my life and the lives of others.
Just saying.
And what is reasonable is based not on your reaction, but on normal other people. To suggest that you are in fear for your life means that you have the right to use deadly force. Which brands you as pretty much insane for thinking that mere display of a gun deserves your delivering the death penalty.
You clearly have had no firearm training of the type that one gets when qualifying for a carry license.
I’m as RKBA as the next NRA Life Member but I cannot fathom what reason to bring a rifle into the restaurant. Handguns sure but rifles ?
Or because you don’t want to leave it in the car (or motorcycle).
The guys with their muzzles resting on bricks don’t deserve, no, let me rephrase, those weapons deserve better owners.
Chipotle isn’t a person it’s a corporation, regardless, no person or corporation can legally limit the rights of people on their property beyond what is specifically allowed by law, such as smoking regulations for example. As an individual your power to regulate peoples constitutional rights is limited to asking them to leave your property, or barring them entry. As a corporation running a business that is open to the public the legal ability to bar entry is legally limited as is their power to regulate behavior. As an example, in the State of NH, a business can’t legally deny entry or service to someone simply because they are bearing arms. There is nothing illegal about them posting their property with a sign asking people not to carry, and there is nothing illegal about people ignoring the sign.
Open-carry of rifles may be making a philosophical point, but it WILL cost us public support.
They have been anti-Conservative for several years.
You clearly have had no firearm training of the type that one gets when qualifying for a carry license.
You can choose to align yourself with the Black Panther types who show up at school board meetings with their guns, but if I'm in a restaurant and a bunch of guys brandishing guns walks in, I'm leaving if I can, and doing what I need to if I can't. Some of us remember the guy who open carried into the Luby's in Killeen.
The fact that carry usually requires training, and that this may contain a piece of useful information about the lawful use of deadly force in no way contradicts my point or makes yours.
You said that merely carrying at a graduation deserves to be punished with violence. I disagree, and believe that carrying should be a civil right even at educational institutions.
Sorry dangerdoc, but if I saw this “Fatboy-Slim” combo walk into a restaurant with that hardware, I keeping an eye for the exit.(I don’t usually carry)
They remind me more of the Columbine losers than responsible carry members of the gun community...YMMV
Thus my concern that these “activists” may not be our “activists”
If you are going to OC in Texas, your only option is long guns. No pistols.
Because OC of pistols in Texas is verbotten.
Kinda hard to have an OC RKBA event if you don’t OC something.

Buying a product sold in the store and carrying it out is one thing.
Walking into a restaurant carrying an axe would understandably persuade some of the clientele to clear out.
Context matters.
looks like it.
It does for this People.
