Signs
Insty has a photo of a sign outside the Bonefish Grill that says they don’t want law-abiding gun owners to spend money there. Someone should tell them their sign doesn’t appear to comply with Tennessee law regarding posting weapon prohibition.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

Shhhh! Don’t tell them. If it doesn’t then a gun owner who manages not to see that sign, won’t get in trouble with the law.
Besides, its nice of that restrurant to tell me and my family that they don’t want my business, nor my company’s entertainment business.

Once again corporate shenanigans regarding guns rears it silly head.
It is entirely possible that the sign was put up on purpose, precisely as it looks, because it does not impact concealed carrying of handguns under TN law. But it does make hoplophobes feeeeeeeeeeel better about themselves, that they are eating in a place where evil nasty guns are supposedly not welcome, but really are not banned.

“Although some of our best friends are Negroes,
Dining Room White Only.” Sorry, man. Policy.

i didn’t think that sign was compliant.
At any rate, I’ve sent an email telling them how I feel about their denying my civil rights.

The same company also owns outback, Carrabras grill, etc.
I spend upward of $15k dining out each year (I travel A LOT). I sent OSI (corporate parent) an email informing them that not a dime of that money will be spent in any of their restaurants (which is a shame, cause Outback has decent CONSISTENT quality – which is important in whatever random city I find myself in)
This might be worth getting NRA involved with too.
Of course, I suspect we’ll find its just the local franchisee’s decision, and not coorporate policy.
Bet an NRA boycott against Outback would have the corporate heavies rescinding this guys franchise fast

The wife and I were taking a walk around downtown Nashville wednesday and walked past Tootsie’s. You may recall that they got themselves in a bit of an uproar over the new law; to the extent that they told the Tennessean that they were purchasing metal detectors to wand their patrons. They were posted, albeit incorrectly. Funny thing is the picture of the gun on the sign wasn’t even in the standard circle with a hashmark and sign only read “no guns allowed.”

It is bad form to tell a business that wants to keep gun carriers out how to do it correctly. They want to step up to the plate and proclaim the establishment of a victim rich zone, let them. And don’t spend money there unless you HAVE to. ANd that way, if you HAVE to, you’ll still be legal to carry cuz they are too STOOPID to learn what the law says.

Does anyone actually know what the legal definition of “substantially similar” is? How close to the example wording in the law does it have to be? Anyone know of any cases that have addressed that?

This is a sad, even a pathetic day for personal liberty. “Someone should tell them their sign doesn’t comply with statute.” A pox on both your houses.
