Any interest in staging a Pro-Carry protest against a restaurant that bans?

This isn’t about whether or not shootings will take place in these businesses. This is about what will happen when they do.
A business owner (especially a large corporation) probably isn’t going to make a decision based on how he feels about guns. He will decide based on what is best for the business and his employees.

All of a sudden we have some experts in here on what is or has happened in civil cases. Are you trying to tell me that when an innocent person is shot to death in a business that the business isn’t sued?

If they are going to be put on trial about whether or not they provided a safe environment for their customers or employees, and they think posting a sign will help them; that is their right.

This isn’t about “Guns in bars”. If it were, I agree with what the Governor said; “it defies common sense”. Unfortunately the uninformed public has been told that it is.

I am sorry but your response says nothing to address my statement. As a matter of fact, it is very contradicting to say the least. Let's just agree to disagree. I respect your position. Just respect mine. But I still do not understand why Tennessee is visioned as problematic and other areas have not had wide spread incident. If this were a problem it would have been re-addressed by the allowing states to stop it. Facts are facts. And if think this law is going to stop guns from beings carried and used by some hot head, you are just kidding yourself.

One nice footnote in all of this is that local Liberal Moonbat radio host Mary Mancini has picked up on it and given TGO a nice plug on her Blog.

Thanks for visiting, Mary!

Hey Mary! Guess which finger I'm holding up?

A big part of our arguement for restaurant carry has been "All these other states have this and nothing has happened". All the news reports I've seen that mention this, and there were lots, had nothing else to say about it. But you can bet your arse that if there had been pickets against restaurants that posted in Ga. last year(if thats part of their law) the madia would have been all over it.
The public thinks and and automaticlly sees pickets as intimidation, wheather that is the intent or not.

I can't say that I've ever felt intimidated while driving down the street and seeing unions picket or protesters protesting. Their intended goal seemed to be raising awareness. That was my intended goal with the suggestion here.

Clearly it's raised some awareness or the Leftist bloggers wouldn't have already latched onto the story.

Just got invited to go to Boscos here in Memphis. I yelled "Oh I'm going, but not tonight and not to eat!"

Were you crossing that picket to go to work?


And which part of this story did they latch onto?

The part of the story that suited their agenda, of course. And I'm sure you are going to point to that and say "AH HAH! Told you so!" but you have to consider that I don't base my decisions on the fear that some kook from the other side might ridicule me for them.

The best any of us can do is to put our best foot forward and be sincere in our efforts to do the right thing for the right reasons. Someone, somewhere will always be there to mock whatever it is you're taking a stand for. Or at the very least mock HOW you decided to take that stand.

I guess if I always worried that much about what someone else was thinking, I'd feel pretty old at the comparatively young age of 49 also.

But back to the subject: It's actually rather inspiring to me that a Leftwing blogger has picked up this story and started criticizing me for thinking about staging a peaceful protest against Boscos. To me, it smells like fear and loathing. Fear that a Conservative might use a traditionally radical Leftist means of opposition against them, and loathing that one of us has finally figured it out.

then by all means go picket, thats fine. When someone says to me "did you see they guys trying to close down that restaurant for post no guns" I'll explain to them that that was not the intent at all and won't be the least bit afraid to do so.

And I guess at the still fairly young age of 36, I probably didn't look at all the possible outcomes of my actions. And I know that 49 is not too old, but I got lots of miles on me.

I'm a pretty high mile 36. I wouldn't wish half the crap I've been through on anyone else.

All of which begs the question... did Thomas Jefferson or Benjamin Franklin ever utter the words, "I'm too old for this ****".
