Time to have a list of both local and national businesses that have anti-gun policies for their customers so for those of us who choose not to patronize anti-gun businesses, we are more informed. Please put the name of the business, it's location (town and state), and whether or not you contacted the business regarding their policy. If you did contact and hear back, please let us know the reposes. Note: this is not a thread to post if you work for a company that is anti-gun for its employees.

Edit to add: This is not a call to boycott thread. It is simply a list of businesses that have anti-gun policies. What you choose to do with the information is up to you.

It appears that Buffalo Wild Wings has now moved to a corporate policy banning firearms...my local one has been posted for a while, but supposedly they're now posted across the country. Anyone else seen this sign?

Buffalo Wild Wings BANS Guns

Haven't been to one locally in a while. I'll have to check. In SC there is a sign posting requirement as to size, shape, image, location at all doors, etc. that is the only legal way a business can prosecute you for carrying into their establishment. A simple "no guns allowed" is not legally enforceable. If you are asked to leave and refuse, you can be arrested for that. I have been into most banks here, Food stores, many restaurants, never had a problem. Of course we have to conceal carry anyhow, so it's just not that noticeable if someone is in the business with a concealed weapon, but there are not a lot of legally posted signs around that I have seen. Certain places, hospitals, govt offices, law enforcement offices, schools are legally off limits under state law.

Texas is now pretty reasonable about CC in my opinion. I have seen a few NON-compliant signs indicating guns aren't allowed, however, it is my understanding that the "official" 30:06 and/or 30:07 signs must be prominently displayed for it to be officially legal. I mainly notice these signs on some doctors offices for some reason. On private property, which MOST businesses are, even with no signs, the owner can ask one to leave if they know you are carrying...and, you must comply. Personally, I know of only one restaurant in my area that I frequent on a regular basis that has a posted "legal" 30:07 sign, which doesn't really bother me. When "open carry" was passed a few years ago in Texas there was much mashing of teeth, but it now seems to be pretty much a non-issue as far as I can tell, probably because not many people seem to do so. I have only seen one person (a woman) carrying a small, holstered, semi-automatic pistol openly. It was in a restaurant, and no one seem to paid her any attention. I don't think very many people even noticed.

Here in AZ., I still see a lot of open carry. No one seems to mind or get bent out of shape over it.

About the only time I get concerned, is when I see someone open carry and they make no attempt to safeguard their handgun.

That happens quite often. Some act as if they don't even know it's there.
