No. That is not it. Take out Tennessee and do the search.....the correct page has the fork with the wings logo on it

Here it is https://www.facebook.com/pages/Gun-Free-Dining/144575962244929

Their website is flat out wrong on Ruby Tuesday's Oak Ridge. It is *not* posted.

Yep. Idealism will get you killed every time. Many things would be really great if we lived in a perfect world where the sun shines every day & everyone only thought of others & never of themselves. Too bad we dont live in that world.

And that is the primary difference separating the sheep from the sheepdogs.

Same thing here. They have the Ruby's in Pigeon Forge and Sevierville as "no guns allowed" but they certainly aren't posted lol

If this outfit's website has so many inaccuracies, shouldn't the restaurant owners/managers be contacting the website? I know I would be screaming to high heaven if my bottom line was being affected by some incorrect information on the web.

How about this idea if you're my age? The liberal college draft card burners tripping on LSD in the 60's - 70's are now business owners, university professors and public school teachers. Driving liberal social agendas into the minds of our children. Just my observation as a parent of three grown public school / college graduates.

By the way, Happy New Year everyone.

Waste of owners time. The web site is essentially irrelevant to the resturant business (and evident by dearth of FB traffic).

Based on the way I am reading the website, the directory isn't a comprehensive list of gun-free establshments, but is only a list of places. Under each it says "stance on guns" and most say "not yet contacted."

Same with Ruby Tuesday's in Smyrna.

But as we know anti-gun people do not have a track record of being honest.

I posted the following as a comment. Others please do the same. . .

So, Let me get this straight. You don't want the patronage of thousands of law abiding, legally licensed gun owners who've went through certified training, and, had appropriate background checks in your establishments. The gun busters signs don't deter criminals. It's only there to keep law abiding citizens from entering your places of business. Statistically we are the safest patrons, and are in the middle to upper class that have the money to frequent restaurants. That's fine, we'll frequent elsewhere.

i agree 100 %

I was going to post the same thing. I enjoyed a nice lunch there this weekend with my pistol safely secured to my side. I looked before entering, even though I've been there a hundred times, and there is no sign. I think that Ruby's actually took the stance of saying "we will NOT post" back when the laws were changing regarding carry in a place that serves alcohol.

Im going to drive up to the ruby's in Lebanon and see if they have a sign. I will follow up.

Same with Ruby Tuesday's in Smyrna.

They list Ruby Tuesday in Brentwood as being a "No Guns" eatery. I was there recently and there is no sign on the door.

Bunch of lying asshats.

This was my comment. I hope they respond. If they do I'll post it...

Why would I want to eat at a restaraunt that has been made less safe? The people who abide by laws and signs aren't the ones I'm worried about. If criminals really listened to signs, we should post signs saying NO muderers, No pedaphiles, and NO rapists. Yeah, signs make everything safer... Me and mine we opt NOT to eat at the places listed. I choose to keep my family safe. I also know that by doing this you have put these diners on a "to do" list. Criminals know they will find less opposition at these places and take advantage of it's defenseless patrons. I feel safer because of you, knowing that the people that might do harm to me and my family will not be eating where I do. They'll choose the risk free route, find a nice place to eat on your website, then make the news.....

Hopefully this won't catch on,

I suspect this organization has gotten more traffic from this site on it's website and it's FB page than it has from it's own initiatives.

It has a whopping 29 followers on Twitter and 500 likes on it's FB page from the entire FB universe. The last supportive post it had was in July.

It looks like someone threw up a webpage, hunts around for something anti-gun related to post about once a month , and added a Paypal link hoping useful idiots will send money.

Something like this would normally be called a scam. Reality is it is at best ineffective and at worst just laughable.

[daddyo]

It would be nice if gun-haters could see reason and logic, but there's something in their wiring that impedes rational thought.

I want to see how many of those posted places become un-posted when the NRA convention comes to Nashville.

[gl19gobang]

I checked the Ruby Tuesdays in Lebanon. Its not posted. Gun free dining are lying about this one too.
