MSN poll about no guns policies at restaurants

[justwannashoot]

There's a poll over at MSN.com about the controversy over Toby Keith not allowing firearms in his Virginia restaurant.
   
    Toby Keith draws fans' ire with no-guns policy at his restaurants

    The country star is under fire in Virginia, where weapons are permitted in eateries.

Would you prefer to go to an eatery that allows guns, or one that bans them?

The numbers are against us right now.

And you expect something different from that audience?

Who cares about what MSN thinks...

Ichiban is right!

As to Keith's gun ban...  What can you expect from a so-called American singing about "Made in America" while playing a Japanese made guitar...

He's a putz!

Polls are fine and dandy, and I play on them as well.  However, the only poll that counts is action.  Vote in November, and vote with your pocketbook.

Remember though that when you vote with your pocketbook you must make sure they know they lost.  Do you have a supply of business cards (two different cards) that you can leave for management:  The first states that you will not patronize their business because of their anti-gun stance.  Walk in, ask for a manager, present them with the card, and walk out the door;  The second is a card that thanks them for their stance.  Patronize the business, and present the manager with the card as you pay your tab.

My favorite is to stop at a gas station, and when I see a no gun sign on the door I still purchase fuel.  However, I don't pay at the pump.  I fill the pick up, and then I go to the building and knock on the window holding up the cash or credit card.  When they tell me to come in I point at the sign and open my jacket so they can see the gun*.  I make them come out, collect my payment, and bring back a receipt.

* Remember, Minnesota is a carry state as opposed to conceal state.  We can show the firearm without breaking the law.  That said, we can also walk right past signs that ban firearms, and we are not breaking the law unless they notify us after they know we have a firearm and we refuse to leave.  But, I don't care about that if I can make a point.

The business card thing just makes you look like an ass and actually hurts gun rights.  Just polititly tell them why and walk away.

He's already got your money, so I'm guessing that it didn't hurt too much.

Your mistake was buying his fake hick pandering crap to begin with. The guy is a poser.

How can I state this in terms you will understand ...

Bullshit!!!

Do you write thank you or evaluation notes to businesses?  As a person heavily involved in an industry that relies on relationships and service I want to know what my customer wants.  I want to know what people in need of our industry want.  If you don't let them know they won't know.

There are many times over the past 20 years I would have given my left arm to know why a person did not come to me.  Any owner or manager who cares about their business wants to know and if this offends them they are beyond caring about their business anyway.
