I strolled into Taco Cabana at Highway 6 just south of FM529 tonight. Nothing near the entrance, so I went in. They still had the same "no weapons" irrelevant sign way up on the bulletin board by the menu. My wife and I ordered, and I paid with the last $16.00 that I had on my gift card from Taco Cabana (as in paid for by Taco Cabana) that I got for writing them a nasty-gram complaining about their stores being posted. HA!

Wow, great result for those folks who have been so determined to inform TC that they've been improperly posting. Way to go, guys!

I thought the solution was simple: Spend your money elsewhere. No matter if they followed the letter of the law, we all know their intent was to keep us CHL holders out. Same thing in my book. You telling me that you can't find another mediocre place to get a taco?

I can't argue with that, but since that cat was already out of the bag, I thought I'd add my $.02 before declaring them a place that I no longer do business with.

By the way, there were 3 people shot following a fight in a Taco Cabana parking lot tonight, as reported on the local Fox news station. Maybe I'll just make my own tacos at home.

I just go with the idea that they know when they post a no gun's sign that it will not stop a CHL holder, so I see it as an invitation for me and mine to come on in with our concealed handguns and I am glad they don't post 30.06.

PS
If they don't know let's not tell them

FYI - on the Firing Line forum, someone had already taken it to the regional head of security for Taco Cabana, or whoever is in charge of such things. They were already well aware of it, all the way to the top. I figure I'll beat 'em into either dropping their signs, or complying with the law and posting the correct signs in the correct places. Once they do that, I'm no longer a customer. I can always get my food elsewhere.

Just thought I'd bring this back up. There was a Taco Cabana thread on http://www.thefiringline.com. A few months ago, I visited one local Taco Cabana, and there was nothing on or near the entrance. On a board near the menu, where they post their food licenses and such, there was a non-30.06-compliant "no guns" sign. I wrote to Taco Cabana via their contact info on their website telling them about it, but not specifying which location. I wanted them to have to check them ALL and figure out which ones are posted incorrectly. I got a reply, and I wrote back, including my phone number. I actually got a call from a Taco Cabana representative, and, while being very polite, I disagreed with their policy, and told them that their signage is useless. She thanked me, and offered a gift card from them. I told her that while I wouldn't go in a Taco Cabana that's properly posted, I might run through the drive-thru. I got the gift card ($25), and have since visited two other Taco Cabanas, which were also improperly posted. I went in, ordered my lunch on their dime, and ate - all while carrying.

A not-so-humorous thing happened a month or so ago: A guy was shot to death while waiting in line at a Taco Cabana somewhere around Dallas I believe. I copied the story, and sent it to the Taco Cabana rep, and said I guess their drive-thrus aren't a safe place to be, either.
