Now that should end this debate of carrying in restaurants and other places of bidness.

I saw an old western movie where a dog carrying a double-barrel shotgun limped into the saloon and said "I'm lookin' for the man who shot my Paw!"

Your post was specifically pointing to the rules where a belief in God is required. Nothing to do with the issue of these restaurants requesting no open carry.

Now, get back on topic.

This one overlooks it for $$.

Additionally the BWW has no signs on the one by my house. Sometimes individual franchisers overlook policies they find distasteful.

I think that is the key reason. They ask themselves 'Do I turn away a group of 20-30 who happen to be open carrying in a state where it has always been legal?' and decide the $$ wins out. I think you might possibly see the same thing in smaller towns in Missouri where it has always been legal and the manager knows the individuals. Take a larger city like St. Louis or Kansas City or their suburbs and you won't see it.

The interesting test will be if the Governor signs pending legislation which includes uniformed laws on licensed open carry forcing cities who have restrictions prohibiting open carry in their ordinances into allowing it. Will be interesting to see if new signs go up in those cities at businesses because of any in-your-face types of encounters.

Here's a good composite story from the company my daughter works for http://www.newsy.com/videos/chili-s-and ... activists/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

A 30.06 sign, in fact not being able to carry a gun, does not refuse you any right to protect yourself. It simply limits your tools you can use to do so.

I believe you know the point I was making.

I know what you wrote.

And you know what I meant. I know you are smarter that that. Don't try to be difficult.

Stop now.
