You mentioned that you wanted feedback, so I'll add this. I don't think it has been mentioned yet. Frequently adjusting yourself is one of the giveaways that allow people to notice that you're carrying. If your clothing is appropriate for your gun/holster, then you shouldn't need to constantly adjust yourself. Put it on. Cover it up. Leave it alone.

I won't patronize twin peaks, they have something against guys that ride bikes, and the tilted kilt here closed. oh well looks like I'll just go to Luby's

Looks like this is going to turn into a larger issue. I guess from now on, those of us that enjoy an atmosphere with the mediocre food and would like to still maintain the highest level of personal protection will have to cast our eyes upon other similar venues. I hear Twin Peaks and/or the Tilted Kilt can fit the bill.

I think I would have asked him just what the deal is....has he considered that I may be wearing an insulin pump, or other life support system? I would indignantly refused to discuss with him what I was wearing and that also includes the type of underwear I may or may not be wearing.

I would then tell him, if you want me to leave I certainly will, but before I do I want your name and your regional manager's name and phone number.

Cheap lesson buddy, chalk it up to the cost of wisdom.

Did the manager see the "bulge" or was the manager responding to what the server reported?

And now they're alerted to the fact that they have no signs. You were given a verbal notice, which is enough to legally prevent you from carrying inside. Calling in to complain is fine, but IMHO you should have left it at that and moved on rather than call the district manager to complain.

I'm not a Hooters historian so I have no idea. Regardless, I'd recommend you work on your carry method to avoid such issues in the future.

I never said I "need" my glock inside hooters, but if it is my gun of choice and I can properly conceal it, which is the issue here, then we have no issue. I've done is pleanty of other times in and out of hooters, but there is always that one time...

Lightbulb! Maybe it's not the gun, maybe it's not the manager; could it be the hooters?

Bye bye Hooters.

You'd think there'd be a sign they could post to indicate that...

And thats what i stressed to him, so I dont doubt they will get a sign in the future. But, probably the wrong one at first.

It's generally not a good idea to clue in the clueless when it comes to signage. That's what they pay their lawyers for.

Oldgringo wrote:"Concealed is concealed" or did someone say that already? From what I've seen/read here, Hooters was/is not the problem. Try MacDonalds next time....better yet, go to Sonic.

Me, I ain't a Hooters kinda' guy.
