Well Whataburger can officially pound sand

[roo_ster]

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.

"If You Want Blood (You Got It In Texas Restaurants)"

It's criminal
There ought to be a law
Criminal
There ought to be a whole lot more
You get muzzlin' for muzzlin'
Tell me who can you trust
We got what you want
And you got the dust (cover open)
If you want blood, you got it
If you want blood, you got it
Blood on the register
Blood in my Crocs
Blood by the ketchup dispenser
Every last drop
You want blood
You got it in Texas Restaurants
Yes you have

I don't expect you to be convinced by The One Perfect Analogy That Won't Break Down When Stretched Beyond Its Intended Use.  But you do sound a bit like a Brady shill when making the safety argument with zero evidence to back it up.

Looking back at the the photo of Fatty & Boots.  It shows them not covering folk with their muzzles and keeping their booger hooks off the bang switch.  Could it be that they can, unlike your buddies, eat and practice muzzle discipline at the same time?   

I tell ya, what really ought to be banned at Whataburger are white slip-on shoes worn with shorts.  That's just wrong.

These idiots are walking around with Con 1 rifles at low ready.

I can't say it about all of them, but I do know that the situation is that they tend to go to 'low ready' for photo shoots, which is when we see them.  The rifle is normally slung the rest of the time.

IE they're only at low ready when mugging for the camera, in order to make the weapon more visible in the shot.

So what we *really* need is to ban cameras...

Or just kick individuals out of places when they're being stupid.  You may get escorted out of many places for taking your clothes off.  Or for swearing and yelling loudly.  Why not for fondling you firearm in an unsafe manner?

Sounds reasonable.  As a restaurant owner I might also object to customers cleaning newly-caught fish on tables and countertops.    Or gutting hogs in the McD's play area.  "Don't go in the ball pit, honey.  Uncle Bob just dumped the offal in there."

Lots of behavior that a business owner might find objectionable that they ought to have the authority to regulate.

Are you unable to comprehend the difference between a private corporation making a business decision and laws banning things, or are you just trolling?

Firstly. Those rifles may or may not be condition 1. You don't know that.

Secondly, as was pointed out, no one is being flagged in those photos,  or in any of the videos I've seen. Also,  theyou tend to have trigger diciplene. (Que Blackhawk Down clip).

There's no evidence of a safety violation. Sense and taste,  yes.  Safety no.

Someone is blinded by their idiology but it ain't me.

How would you know that, given that the rifle is pointed off camera at an area you can't see?

Lol, what ideology is it you think I'm blinded by exactly? The one where dipshits who hurt gun rights are a bad thing? Ok, you got me.

I just reviewed all the photos in this thread.  In all of them I can see a straight line from the muzzle direct to the floor, within the photo.  Incorrect perspective can only do so much - somebody would have to have an oddly placed foot to get shot in for how they're holding it.  Hell, the fat guy has it pointed straight down - his own feet are at the biggest risk.

And most of them aren't even at 'low ready', with their hands completely out of position to reach the trigger.

Just searched for 'open carry demonstration' - first appropriate image:


Unless there's somebody very oddly placed off-image, they're all being pointed in a safe direction.

Stop whining like a Brady shill and I will stop making the observation that you are whining about a nonexistent problem for which there is no empirical evidence.  That is the analogy involved, Mr Blood in the Streets. 

I think I have shown via my posts that I've little problem with Whataburger doing as it pleases.  Heck, I don't even have plans to boycott Whataburger if they keep Fatty & Boots out.  And Mr White Slip-Ons.

Maybe we can transcarry; BBQ gun in a fancy OWB holster that identifies as concealed.

This idea can also put to rest the 9mm vs. .45 debate once and for all

Okay this one has gone past polite.  Despite my involvement in the thread, I'm putting a fork in it.
