Thanks open carry idiots

Does Chipolte have a plan to defend it's burrito eating customers when the need for a military-style assault rifles does arise??

:colbert:
 
I don't see a problem. Chipotle wants to ban firearms from their property, that's up to them. Those who want to carry can opt to simply not go to chipotle. Everyone gets to make their own choices.

Though prior to the open carry idiots those who had CHL's could eat at Chipolte's without having to disarm, that's not possible now thanks to the dunderheads who don't care who they screw over.
 
Well at least no one was going to rob the place that day. Sometimes gun rights activists, like most activists, decide to show their rights in places that don't want them to. Chipotle, being a private business, should have the right to say no.

So why don't you organize a drive to get Chipotle to allow concealed carry customers?

Because it seems to bother you they aren't allowing anybody to carry a weapon within their business.

No, what bothers me is that open carry idiots keep screwing it up for those who have CHLs.

Rather than go to restaurants armed to the teeth why not go to their elected officials seeking to get the law changed? Open carry supporters will never win against "Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America". They make it known where they're having meetings and the ignorant open carry dunderheads show up like clockwork. Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America petitions the restaurant chain after it occurs and the restaurants ban firearms every time.
 
I would call the police if I saw someone with an assault rifle in a restaurant.

An AR-15 or other normal semi-auto rifle wouldn't bother me, though.

Most law abiding CHL holders take their obligation seriously and don't carry where it's against the law to do so.

And, pray tell, when did Chipolte gain the ability to create law? Pretty sure all they can do is ask that you don't carry, there is no penalty under law if you have a permit.

EDIT: Also, Chipolte is no longer allowing the display of guns, so no open carry, concealed would be unaffected.

If you feel the need to carry a concealed weapon in order to feel safe perhaps you should consider a new community to live in.

But then again, I suspect CHL has very little to do with personal safety...

Yes, everyone that carries concealed does so 24/7.

I only carry concealed when traveling with large sums of cash. during said travel I sometimes go in a restaurant to eat. It's nice to be able to go into a restaurant without having to disarm in the parking lot as this tends to bring unwanted attention.

Chipotle owns (or owns the lease on) the property their restaurant inhabits. Therefore they can control who enters that property so long as it comports with public accommodation laws. You have no right under the law to carry a gun onto someone else's property if they don't want you to, so you would at least be guilty of trespassing in this case if they wanted to enforce it.

I can appreciate that, but what the hell are you armed with that you'd draw attention to yourself by disarming?
A shoulder mounted rpg?

Texas' current CHL laws are about personal safety, and were greatly influenced by this event:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luby's_massacre

Hennard also approached 32-year-old Suzanna Hupp and her parents. Hupp reached for her .38 revolver in her purse, only to remember she had left it in her vehicle to comply with the law. Texas law at the time required that concealed carry was not allowed in "public places". Her father Al, 71, rushed at Hennard in an attempt to subdue him but was fatally shot in the chest. A short time later, as Hupp was escaping, her mother Ursula, 67, was shot in the head and killed as she cradled her wounded husband.

Hupp went on to become a state rep, pushing for concealed carry.

Just a wild guess, without knowing specific laws from state to state, but I think that if they hadn't said anything about concealed carry, they'd be in the clear after some incident involving a concealed carry holder shooting a random customer on accident. But, specifically having a policy that says, "we allow concealed carry" might open them up to litigation in the case of some unfortunate event. Basically, idiots excessively displaying their right to open carry, with rifles, which led to a lot of uncomfortable customers complaining, resulted in Chipotle taking this step to keep the rest of their customers comfortable.

People have a lot of rights. It'd be a nicer world if they chose to use those rights appropriately, vs. being confrontational with those rights. Going into restaurants with a AK-47 strapped to your back, because you can, isn't that much removed from the idiots who exercise their right to free speech by protesting at funerals.

By not protesting at funerals does not mean you have less of a right to freedom of speech. Let's all agree that you have the right to protest at funerals. But, just don't be a jackass. Likewise, with the guns.
