Panera Bread is asking customers not to bring guns into its restaurants. The request places it on a growing list of companies asking guests to refrain from toting firearms into their locations amid an ongoing nationwide debate about gun policy.

I’m not really surprised this is the case. Panera Bread has always been competing with Starbucks with the “unemployed-hipster-sitting-in-the-comfy-chair-for-8-hours-and-writing-terrible-literature” demographic. To market to liberals, you must necessarily exclude conservatives.

No big deal to me. I carry concealed wherever I want to except of course, court houses, police stations, airports, etc. Where it is actually against the LAW. I don’t pay any attention to silly politically correct policies at some eating establishment.

We used to go to PB but, a Newk’s opened up nearby that is sooooooo much better. They have soups, salads, sandwiches and pizzas plus a little pickle bar.

I wouldn’t be surprised if PB is targeted by robbers in the near future.

I always found it hypocritical when leftists who push gun control refuse to post a “Gun Free” sign at their home.

I mentioned that because over in Huntingdon PA, stores get robbed a bunch because it takes insanely long for any cops to get there. The same building used by three different convenience stores, and also one building housing two different banks. Sound messed up at all?

“Where it is actually against the LAW.”

Those laws are unconstitutional. You cannot be deprived of your right to self-defense by a law.

Yes, Panera is a slightly upper middle class or higher operation. There are much lower crime rates in areas where stores cater to upper class folks IMO.

Upper class folks in this case can be defined by people who earn a decent salary with some disposable income.
