Taco Cabana; NO WEAPONS ON OUR PROPERTY

Or we could just look for and report health violations.
That could shut them down pretty quick.

Hey kauboy,
I think they need to test their food, because they must be using that crumbly "columbian white cheese" in the ingredients.

Why don't you want to answer the question?

I was under the impression that I had answered it.

Bet you saw where it was heading. I find it high unlikely that someone will go into the workplace, neighborhood, organization, etc and tell their friends and acquantainces not to patronize Taco Cabana because I have a CHL and they posted a sign so I can't enter. So go spread the word.

Like I stated a couple of posts ago, I do do that, not quite that way, I point out that businesses that post 30.06 signs are discriminating against law abiding citizens and creating criminal friendly zones.

Thereby, you are telling everyone your CHL status just to try to hit a company in the pocket, where they have already figured out that statistically it doesn't matter if you come or not. Is it worth it? That is probably why they won't change their policy.

I don't believe I am telling anyone my CHL status at all, all I am doing is pointing out that those businesses are discriminating against law abiding citizens and creating criminal friendly zones.

As far as it not mattering statistically, I believe I already covered that point too, even 1% is better than no percent and these things can and do spread.

They probably figured out that most would not expose their CHL status as the real reason for not wanting to go to TC. So, you would have to be deceitful and lie to your friends about the real reason, thereby lowering your moral character.

No reason to lie, all I do is present my case, I don't have to mention whether or not I have a CHL, just that the businesses are discriminating specifically against CHL and creating criminal friendly zones. I have a friend who is a LEO who does much the same thing, and he doesn't have a CHL.

Just eat elsewhere.

YOu know what. Since you guys are hooked on it, I might open a franchise and post CHL welcome, then I would make a KILLING, for sure they would be no KILLING and I would be KILLING the competition.

I do just eat elsewhere, but I also make sure that the business and others know why I don't eat there.

I already do business in CHL friendly places.

Why don't you go ahead and do that, open a CHL welcome place, but make sure you don't alienate all your potential customers first.

Why muddy the water by contacting these companies specifically? If they don't have a proper 30.06 sign, then that's a benefit.

When I contacted the state about improperly posted 30.06 the young lady I spoke to told me that they considered the effort to be adequate for enforcement whether the sign met the law or not, thus I prefer not to do business with places that are posted improperly too, and I let them know why.

Haha, thats incredible. I would have told her "Not according to the law its not"

I did, and she asked me if I wanted to be a test case.

She became very dissatisfied with me when I suggested that by her logic a 40mph posted speed limit was good all the way up to 49mph, since it showed that the driver was "making the effort" to stay in the 40s. Then she hung up on me.

How utterly rude of her to do that to you...

Can I be the next one she hangs up on??? Please???

I bet I can beat your time! I think I can get her to hang up on me in about 4 seconds...

I just don't see how it does you any good telling a company to post a proper 30.06 sign so you CANNOT carry there.

[pbandjelly]

you missed the point.

[Lucky45]

As an aside, we used to shoot at TargetMasters (up until about 2005) in Garland every Wednesday night, and have dinner at Taco Cabana afterwards. We accounted for about 20 meals every time. There were no 30.06 signs at that store (Plano & Forest). I bet they miss us.

jr

I agree. The Taco Cabana in 1 week made $6000 x 7 = $42000

and from scenario, if your guys stop going on Wednesdays, you bet they will miss $5 x 20 = $100

So they will only make $41900 in 1 week.


From now next couple days, I think I will just be lawyerly and make objections on posts.
So jimbob, I OBJECT.

Your honor can the poster rephrase his public statement that TC will miss his money to, " They will not benefit from his money." Since to miss means to lose, and we have mathematically proven that TC will not lose financially from CHL not patronizing.

Overruled.

Your math does show a loss, admittedly not a big loss, but a loss nonetheless, and that $100 might just be the difference between black ink and red ink on the balance sheet, and that's only if they indeed serve 1200 $5.00 meals each day per your example.

Every little bit counts.

Unfortunately I neglected to keep her name, or I would encourage you to try.

I just don't see how it does you any good telling a company to post a proper 30.06 sign so you CANNOT carry there.

Because there are three major options for a response. First they could ignore my letter and lose my business and that of anyone that I can persuade. Second they could see the error of their ways and pull the signs down or change them to "Unlicensed possession . . ." Or third they could go to the effort and expense to change the signs to the proper one, which brings us back to option one.

Of course option two also includes the slight benefit that not only will I do business there, I will let others know, lots of others in this internet age, of the choice they made.

A sporting goods store that I was going into several years ago had (pre-30.06, 4413?) signs posted. I asked the manager who came to the door in response to my request why the signs and he told me that it was "corporate." I then asked him for the name address and telephone number for a contact to complain to and he provided me with that.

I wrote to corporate and received a very polite reply, with apology, that the signs were part of a package that they ordered and were just put up by the stores as they were received without regard for meaning. I was told the signs would be removed and that CHLs were welcome in the store at any time.

And that's why Bass Pro in Grapevine does not have signs.

I wasn't even a resident of TX yet, so obviously couldn't have had a CHL status beyond interested party as a future possible CHL.
