Restaurants posted in Memphis

Just wanted to list the restaurants I have seen posted in Memphis (all improperly posted FYI):
Molly's La Casita
The Blue Monkey (Midtown and Germantown locations)
Le Chardonnay (shame as it used to be a favorite of mine)
Ruby Tuesdays (Winchester location, supposedly Corporate decision but they are not posted in any other state with Restaurant carry laws)
Bayou Bar and Grill
Beale Street (supposedly the whole PUBLIC street is off-limits for HCPers, I am strongly considering a court challenge on this one)
Waffle House (all locations, Corporate policy)

Gun FRIENDLY restaurants:
Barksdales (I eat there almost every Monday open carrying, noone has a problem with it - never had a word said to me about it including by Bob the owner)
IHOP (maybe not friendly per se, but I eat there OCing and never been an issue)
CKs (same as IHOP)

Please fellow Memfricans (and visitors), contact these establishments and let them know you will NOT darken their doors until these (non legally binding) signs are down.
Conversely please reward the establishments that respect our right to self defense (Barksdales has awesome food BTW, CKs and IHOP not so much but still support them)...

Ruby Tuesdays (Winchester location, supposedly Corporate decision but they are not posted in any other state with Restaurant carry laws)

According to another thread/post/article, Ruby Tuesday's was not going to post.


More slanted "journalism" from WATE

There's a Blue Monkey in G-town?

No surprise at all the Midtown places on your list here...

Is there a list of restraunts that have posted properly (or even improperly)? And if they are posted improperly, can we still carry in that restraunt?

There is no database for just restaurants, however you can check our database here I would encourage everyone to help update the database when you find a place that is posted.

If a place is posted improperly...then it is not "illegal" if you carry there. But if you are made then you more than likely will be told to leave.

Two notes....what a "proper" posting is could be decided by a LEO, judge or jury not just by you or the owner. Also more specifically on restaurants. With all the media attention this law has got, I don't think the media would make the distinction between a proper or improper posting if someone was made in a restaurant that had posted. They would simply say something like "Supposedly law abiding HCP holder still carrys in posted restaurant."

Concealed means concealed.

There are those *ahem* who won't be changing their behavior one bit on 7/14...

"Hey, I thought since they spent money on a clearly non-compliant sign, they were just trying to placate fearful soccer moms?"

That would be my defense. LOLOLOL

From that list looks like the only place i will be able to walk to to eat will be ihop. Sometimes living with the hipsters in midtown can be aggravating.
