but I also think just barring weapons would still have angered many people. Personally, I would go to his restaruant just based on that sign because I agree with his position. Lose some customers, gain others?

yes and? Do we really need guns in stores and restaurants? FSogol Apr 2014 #18

" Do we really need guns in stores and restaurants?" Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #22

LOL. Moor gunz! FSogol Apr 2014 #23

So, in other words, you prefer the people being taken hostage and herded to the back of the store Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #26

Yeah, that's exactly what I mean! FSogol Apr 2014 #28

Yes, it is. Since you obviously have no response except to criticize the fact Nuclear Unicorn Apr 2014 #30

Why would gun-crazed douchebags want to eat in a restaurant, anyway? Aristus Apr 2014 #5

Stupidity usually gets punished and being a dick pisses people off. hack89 Apr 2014 #6

I find gun toting, particularly in cities, qualifies as "being a dick." Zimmerman and Dunn are Hoyt Apr 2014 #10

Combat mode = wetting his pants? FSogol Apr 2014 #11

I am merely talking about the owners lack of business sense hack89 Apr 2014 #15

Imagine if he put out a "No fatties" sign along the same antagonizing lines... Hip_Flask Apr 2014 #21

Truth hurts. I applaud him. t may help business, certainly will cut down on yahoo pollution. Hoyt Apr 2014 #29

Doesn't seem to be helping his business, wall_dish Apr 2014 #33

Don't see any evidence of that. Gun toters don't tip well anyway. Hoyt Apr 2014 #37

Gun toters don't tip well anyway? wall_dish Apr 2014 #39

Not as creepy as your support of gunz and toting in a college pub. Hoyt Apr 2014 #40

Not going to answer my question? wall_dish Apr 2014 #44

I'm sure we all welcome your concern for him. HERVEPA Apr 2014 #55

Moronic business owner is a moron... Hip_Flask Apr 2014 #7

Most cc states have an approved sign... pipoman Apr 2014 #8

There are definitely guidelines to follow... Hip_Flask Apr 2014 #14

You have a point. Gun toters are not nearly as law abiding as they want us to believe. Hoyt Apr 2014 #32

Isn't "Approved Sign" kind of like "Approved Speech"? yellowcanine Apr 2014 #46

He can post all the pipoman Apr 2014 #50

I agree that sign would have been better, HockeyMom Apr 2014 #9

Possible but I think unlikely to succeed... Hip_Flask Apr 2014 #13

Give us a break. Another NRA meme that has been proven false. Hoyt Apr 2014 #35

Great. More of the "more guns make us safer" bullshit. HERVEPA Apr 2014 #57

I agree with the owner and appreciate him standing up to yahoos who would carry a gun into Hoyt Apr 2014 #27

You don't get it do you! He doesn't want gunners for a customer base. upaloopa Apr 2014 #36

So why not just put up a sign stating that firearms are prohibited on this establishment? wall_dish Apr 2014 #41

Well gunners are never dicks about anything upaloopa Apr 2014 #52

People carrying their guns into a restaurant are the dicks. HERVEPA Apr 2014 #58

Well he certainly got his wish then... Hip_Flask Apr 2014 #42

Yep and he'll get more customers like me who upaloopa Apr 2014 #53

Maybe, maybe not. wall_dish Apr 2014 #56

I would suggest that recent politcs have shown... Hip_Flask Apr 2014 #59

o boo fucking dog shit hoo. whether you call someone a douchebag or a jerk cali Apr 2014 #20

So what kind of words do you think were used upaloopa Apr 2014 #31

Well, maybe if the owner hadn't been such a dick about it, wall_dish Apr 2014 #38

Maybe he felt more strongly about the law passed by the bigoted right wing SC legislature. Hoyt Apr 2014 #45

This is just too funny by all accounts. wall_dish Apr 2014 #47

He seems to be doing just fine except for some gun toting white wingers Hoyt Apr 2014 #49

I am getting real. wall_dish Apr 2014 #60
