bang
Will this apply to cops also?
"It's better to make sure that nothing happens than be sorry afterward."
Which is exactly the reason many of us carry guns.
Jim Sollo, president of Virginians Against Handgun Violence, said his group believes the combination of guns and alcohol will eventually lead to trouble
So is this bozo also planning to ban cars from restuarant parking lots since "guns and cars" don't mix?
FYI
Some armed customers likely to ban area businesses.
Many Armed Customers May Take Their $$$ Elsewhere.
Both perfectly legal. Freedom works both ways.
Need to fix that for him.
...post signs last week prohibiting firearms and declaring themselves a "victim disarmament zone".
Maybe they should post one of those other signs? "We don't trust you with your own safety. We just want your money." Or words to that effect.
I smell boycott...
Make the appropiate adjustment for the business of choice.
Can a restaurant owner ban non-smokers?
One good way to do this is in a large group. If writing letters doesn't work, then get about 20 folks together, who are all open carrying, then show up and ask to be seated. See what the response is.
You can add an additional twist by having a few pro-RKBA folks go in right before the "big group", and then once the "big group" is asked to leave, the "smaller group" (not carrying) then speaks to the manager and explains to them that they are leaving since the restauarant doesn't recognize RKBA.
Alternatively, you can have most of the "big group" take their seats first (unarmed), then have a couple of guys come in openly carrying who join the group. Then when the restaurant asks them to leave, EVERYONE gets up and walks out.
There are so many variations that you can have fun with. Many business owners only care about $$$$, so that is the language you have to use when dealing with them. Most will take down their signs when they start losing $$$$.
---But Tracy thinks guns, with the exception of those carried by police officers, have no place in his restaurants. ---
When he sees his numbers after this move he may change his mind.
I don't carry. I will be dining in Northern VA from time to time. I will not patronize a so-called safe zone. Lubee's in Texas was a safe zone.

Exactly, property owners have the freedom of choice on both sides of this issue.
Those choosing to ban good guys with guns from their establishments are insuring that the robbers and rapists out there know which potential victims are unarmed. I'll bet they are making a list of establishments as we speak.
In a Free country that respected private businesses they could. Probably couldn't do it in the USA though.
Exactly true...I USED to eat lunch on occasion at that VERY restaurant in Franconia. Its not like it is some kind of high-class joint, fer crying out loud....."Bungalow Billiards and Brew".
Operative word "USED to".
Update! ... Update! ... Some armed customers will not spend their money in known, leftist, business establishments.
Ban cars from bars since drunk drivers are far more dangerous than guns or cars...
In fact ban people from alcohol as alchol is almost always present in every type of violent crime..
MORE LAWS... we need more laws....more laws....and prisons...and lawyers..and judges...and cops...and money....more laws....
Then we will finally be safe.....nirvana a land were everyone is happy cause there is a law against not being happy...we got rid of all the not happy law breakers...
Nirvana has vacancies...lots and lots of vacancies...
"I will not patronize a so-called safe zone"
I don't carry either, but I don't like to patronize businesses that essentially invite armed robberies.
I wonder if there are any 7-11's participating in this program? LOL
