[QUOTE="TallPrairie, post: 2524072, member: 7815"] One other important thing: I've seen news stories linking the new gun-carry "policy statements" by Chili's and Sonic. Actually, there seems to be a big difference between them. The Chili's statement says (my emphasis) "we kindly ask that guests refrain from [I]openly carrying firearms[/I] into our restaurants." Sonic: "We're asking that customers refrain [I]from bringing guns[/I] 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." Link: [url]http://www.cnbc.com/id/101719167[/url] Big difference. Chili's is not showing a callous and ill-reasoned overreaction. They are still good guys in my book. Sonic is not. (This is probably a fair time to point out that I have never particularly enjoyed their food in any case.) [/QUOTE]
