So is Whataburger going to post 30.07 signs or not? I sort of wonder why they even bothered to mention it at this point.

So they're the 2A equivalent of fedora-wearing neckbeards?

Yes. They just substitute crappy rifles for waifu or anatomically correct MLP dolls.

I don't think so given that they don't take issue with existing concealed carry.

Gun owners need to ask the gays for the names of their attorneys.

Because it's so true.

Would carrying this with the 30 round stick but in its folded configuration be ok?

Yup. Done with whataburger. Not that I'm a regular fast food customer, but I could almost see their position as to not making some guests uncomfortable. But the "Safety" excuse is bull *expletive deleted*it. OC is legal in a number of other states. Cops and LEO can open carry. There are criminals that are utterly unafraid of trying to disarm and kill a cop. No different.

SADShooter · « **Reply #33 on:** July 07, 2015, 06:28:04 PM »

I am impressed that they actually responded, and I do genuinely respect their right to take a position. Just means I'll get slightly inferior chicken strips or travel burgers elsewhere.

I got that same response. Framing it as a safety issue is weak as *expletive deleted*ck. I replied back , replaced all mentions of guns with homosexuality, and asked her how it was different. I dont expect a response

Again, in TX OC of pistols is not yet legal. OC of long guns, the way the folks there are doing it at least, is in fact a safety risk.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but this came out due to the legalization (eventually) of pistol OC? the bill that was passed?

The bill was passed, but it doesn't go into effect until January 1st. State cops asked for the delay. Said they do most of their CHL training of instructors in the Fall and this bill is tied into the CHL law. Most new laws default to Sept 1st as the date they go into effect after the legislative session is over.

Bullshit.

It's a decorum risk. It's rude. It's probably unhelpful.

It's not a safety risk any more then slinging an M16 for a chow line is.

You missed this part I think.

Plenty of .mil folks who were unsafe in their handling on the FOB where everyone always had their rifle. I don't know how many times I got muzzled but it's in the hundreds. And that's all mandatory Con 3 rifles on slings and infantry guys. These idiots are walking around with Con 1 rifles at low ready. It absolutely is a safety risk the way the actual people this actually applies to are doing it.

Per the link this has always been their stance, it is not a recent change.

Fortunately, there are none near me. And I just barely missed giving them some of my money when we were in Alabama because I misread the Billboard and got off at the wrong exit. We ate at Hardee's instead.

vaskidmark · « **Reply #43 on:** July 07, 2015, 11:09:53 PM »

The corporate policy on OC existed well before the Texas OC law was passed. Given the hoopla about handgun OC coming to Texas they decided to make sure everybody was up to speed on where they stood - including, I am told, some of their local outlet managers in states that are not Texas.

You want to talk about customers feeling uncomfortable? I'm petrified thinking that some of the clowns I see at fast food places (among other places) might be carrying a hidden handgun. Make them open carry like honest people. Then I'll only have to deal with my fear of cops mishandling their openly carried handguns (and my disappointment at never being the one that finds one left behind in the bathroom).

stay safe.

Yes, I remember the rash of ND's in and around Texas eateries........oh wait.

I get that you don't like the Texas OC guys. You've made that clear. But there's no more of a safety risk with the tools then some guy with a CCW in a shoulder holster, and way, way less then a football player with a gun in his pants. Claiming a safety hazard is bordering on mad mothers crap.

Well considering I've only eaten at Whataburger once, only because the Mother-in-Law wanted to, she was buying, this doesn't hurt my feelings at all. Plenty of other places to clog my arteries that will be more than happy to take my money if I do decide to OC.

So you don't think a guy with a Con 1 rifle flagging you is more of a safety risk than a guy with a pistol in a shoulder holster? I seriously doubt you actually think that. Your ideology is blinding you to reality here.

Basement-dwelling Wookie-suiter with Crapco rifle does not automatically equal TX CHL holder. I will open carry, when I think it appropriate, in a Level II holster. If I enter an establishment and I am asked to leave I will do so, and not return.

I have never been muzzle-humped with a long gun in a Texas eatery by someone who was OC-ing a long gun. I suspect you have not either. The reality is that there is zero evidence of danger from people OC-ing long guns in Texas restaurants. Even if those with the long guns are fat and unfashionable.

Hey, what's that? [bbbrrrrring!] Howdy. Really? He's right here. You don't need to talk to him, just give him the message? Gotcha. Buh-bye.

That was The Brady Campaign. They were wondering if you were done with their "Blood in the ~~streets~~ restaurants" argument? And if not, when you might return it?

How many times have you been to an eatery with someone OCing a long gun?

And you're right, saying that people doing something stupid and dangerous is stupid and dangerous is exactly the same as calling for gun bans. Because if we police our own and call people out on being unsafe, then that's the same as asking the feds to violate the Second Amendment. Spot on analysis, I'm convinced. Anyone who is nominally on our side must be held immune from criticism. I'm sure Jeb Bush will appreciate your full support once he is the nominee.
