It was more than one or two. From the threads we have had here in the past, the stores that did not post seemed to be in the minority. Both that I looked at in Austin were posted with the same little letter-sized sign. I drove by one today (South Lamar/Barton Springs), and noted the absence of the sign on the door.03Lightningrocks wrote:The store in Plano was the one I went to back when they first opened it. Truthfully, I didn't see a sign in that store. I never went back because of the posts here saying that they had a corporate anti-gun policy. It has me wondering if some of these stores were never posted to begin with. Maybe they were catching back lash from the one or two that did post signs from the new store start up sign package.
Heck...they may have had a sign. I just don't remember seeing it. I was really wondering where they got the signs to post. Do restaurants get a big package of signs to choose from or did the corporate office send those out to them? Regardless...glad they changed their minds. I had everyone I know refusing to go there...LOL. Some of them I just lied to and made up stories about roaches in the food and stuff. Gosh...I feel a little bad about it now.NcongruNt wrote:It was more than one or two. From the threads we have had here in the past, the stores that did not post seemed to be in the minority.

I think it was corporate. The signs were a weird size perhaps legal paper size, but not be big enough to be legal They all likely came from the same place.Morgan wrote:It's probably the case that a few did it, a few thought it was a good idea and followed suit, the situation sat like that for a while, then the backlash happened, and corporate sent out the "we don't do this, take them down if you have them" message. I don't KNOW that's how it happened, but I've been part of the corporate scene long enough to guess at it. LOL
But not all stores posted them. So not likely corporate.Liberty wrote:I think it was corporate.

Where would they have all got the signs from? I have never seen or heard of them in any other place. but have seen them in Galveston as well as just south of Austin. I have a theory. They have stopped posting new signs a couple of years ago. and that they haven't replaced new signs as they have been vandalized.Morgan wrote:But not all stores posted them.

I sent an email to Taco Cabana to thank them for the change in policy. This is the email reply sent to me by Diana Smith:Russell wrote:Just got the following contact message from the website:
Yesterday I was at the Taco Cabana located at the intersection of NW Highway and Shiloh Rd in Garland/Dallas area. They had a 30.06 sign posted behind the cashier area. This was as of 02/09/2009.
Thanks,
