The Washington Times<\/a> reports that two more restaurant chains have joined the growing list of eateries that have asked legal gun owners to keep their guns out of the businesses. Chili’s and Sonic have made public statements. Says Sonic’s Vice President of Public Relations Patrick Lenow;<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we historically have relied upon local laws to guide how we address the display of guns at drive-ins, recent actions required we carefully reconsider this approach. We\u2019ve considered the views and desires of our customers and employees that staff the drive-ins across the country. Accordingly, we\u2019re asking that customers refrain from bringing guns onto our patios or into our indoor dining areas. With respect to the storage of guns in vehicles, we ask that our customers continue to honor local laws,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Chili’s made a similar statement and they’ve joined Starbucks, Chipotle’s and Jack-in-the-Box in banning guns where guns were once welcomed. Of course this all because the folks at the various Open Carry rights organizations sought to “condition” the American public to accept the sight of long guns in private businesses – and businesses don’t want to be in the politics business as well as serve food to the public. And I don’t blame them one bit. <\/p>\n

I don’t see the point of the open carry groups, actually. It used to be that I could carry my concealed weapon into those establishments, but now, because I respect property rights, I can’t. So, thanks, open carry nuts. Get a real issue, why don’t you? Like transsexual rights – you could screw them over like you’ve screwed gun owners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
