Sonic and Chili's Get On the Bandwagon

[Howey]

And tell the gun lovers to stay out of their restaurants!

Chili’s and Sonic became the latest national chains to wade into the gun debate on Friday, announcing in apparently coordinated statements that firearms are no longer welcome in their restaurants.

“We recognize that the open carry of firearms creates an uncomfortable atmosphere and is not permitted under many local liquor laws,” Ashley Johnson, a spokeswoman for Chili's' parent company, Brinker International, said in an email. “So, we kindly ask that guests refrain from openly carrying firearms into our restaurants and we will continue to follow state and local laws on this issue.”

Good for them for standing up to the NRA bullies!

They won't lose much business.

Perhaps the small percentage that marks the difference between success and bankruptcy but no matter, they'll have their pride.

Telling gun owners to stay out ?

Okay, I'll do just that.

Okay, I'll do just that.

The chains did not request no gun owners allowed, just asked customers to refrain from carrying firearms into the restaurants.

Gun owners are afraid to be out in public unless armed to the teeth

They might feel less threatened were you to announce on this board when you planned to be away from home.

Actually no, they asked customers to not openly carry in their establishments, didn't say anything about concealed carry.

They can do whatever they want and we don't have to eat that crap.

When was the last time you saw someone other than a Policeman openly carry a firearm into a restaurant? According to the statement, cops have to leave their gun in the car if they want to eat there. It clearly states those with a concealed carry permit issued by the state can still come in as long as their gun is concealed.

I'm wondering if the day will come when establishments post a sign that say you
need to be openly gay to be served?

Libs want that day to come sooner rather then later I'm sure!

It would be very cool to walk around with the AR and the Eoetech sigts, Magpul furniture etc. but I'd get swatted.

Yep, depends on where I'm going if I carry or not.

How about a sign that says....

Michelle doesn't want you to eat this crappy food!

Best ad they could run! Business would beat down the doors within minutes and go on for days.

 

[Antares]

LOL, how many of you have "walked" into a Sonic?

 

[HenryBHough]

Ever wonder why donut shops are so seldom victim to armed robbery?

Imagine the change in those stats were cops to be no longer welcome unless disarmed.
