Discussion on posted restaurants

[Guest SUNTZU]

Welcome LEXtoWRX! Glad no one is posting there, for now, at least. Say hello in the New Member Forum!

I was flipping between 5 and 3, both seemed to be one sided. Patricks is another place I frequent ($1 beer nights, how can you go wrong). I am very quickly running out of places to eat and drink.

Obviously when I am going out to drink, I would not be carrying, but it is more principle then anything.

The owner, manager, whatever of Patricks, Michael Miller, is the head of the restaurant association. He is on my ban list.

HOOTERS POSTED

Hooters in Hermitage POSTED. Guys...we need to get some "polite but to the point" calls out there to let them know how we feel. Be nice but let them know they are NOT getting our business! And to think I was actually thinking about being a Hooters Girl!........Joke.

NOOOOOO, not Hooters! Say it ain't so!!

[tntnixon]

The Tennessean is responsible for all this. They went to these restaurants and made them affraid. Hooters, for instance, doesn't post in any other states that have handgun carry allowed. Why is Tennessee different? The answer: The Tennessean.

Baja Burrito on Thompson Lane had a sign with the circle slash. There was some verbiage below it, but I saw it from the road while I was stopped at a light, so I couldn't tell if it was a proper sign.

[Guest anvil]

does any one know if zanies is posted or not?

thanks

[busted knuckles]

The ignorance of some of the people interviewed in the article is saddening.

The Wilson Post article

One of the establishments listed as "going to post", doesn't even serve alchohol. I'm not sure they CAN opt-out.

[Guest BigJ45]

Hooters on Merchants in Knoxville and Quaker Steak and Lube have posted.

I agree ignorance abounds on this.

...it has also drawn attention to the ability to post (which ALL property owner can do BTW) to some that might not have otherwise thought about it.

R P Tracks near the University of Memphis posted this non-compliant sign.

(901) 327-1471

3547 Walker Ave

Memphis, TN 38111

Actually I'd be willing to bet that might hold up. I certainly wouldn't carry past it.

Could you actually tell that the circle had a handgun in it? As I made my trip to check out a bunch of places here in JC, I found several places that I initially thought were posted because I could see a sign with a red circle and slash as I approached. But, when I got closer, I realized instead of a gun it was a cigarette in the circle.

Does RP Tracks serve food? I've been several times......didn't go for food.:drunk:

Yes, it was much larger than the cigarette slash picture. I am 99% certain it was the gun slash.

Yah, I've said before that I expect to see some non-alcohol serving restaurants post now, too.

I'm not certain that is "substantially similar":

It doesn't even cite the TCA reference. I am not advocating carrying past it, but I don't think it meets the criteria either....

If that's the case, then maybe contacting corporate might help. It might help to push from the top that they are losing business for a reason that they don't have in any other state.

If I come across a place that has posted an incorrect sign I will pass them by. If they have posted intentionally incorrectly to try to play to both sides then I say sc*** them. They won't get my $$$!

Amen

Outback Steakhouse

Strawberry Plains and Merchants road locations

Knoxville

I dont know about the other locations around knoxville but i suspect they are all owned by the same person and all posted. that used to be my fav. place to eat.

x2. And in some cases if it just the store manager that is posting without consent from the corporate office, it would be our counter-play to the anti-guns "end run" ........

[Guest jwb68]

I sent an email to Hooters. Lets see what they say.

[Guest db99wj]

The Half Shell

Mendenhall/Poplar

East Memphis

Circle with slash. Text says something like, handguns are not allows on the premises by management.

Does not have the "pursuant to TN annotated...." Not sure how "legal" the sign is, but I wouldn't want to test it, you would be crucified by the media and the da.

Probably doesn't it, but I don't want to be the test case ESPECIALLY now. It all goes to intent for me. They post ANY sign, I'm not going in.

[BrandonTN]

I'm still fuzzy on the legal posting...I assume it has to be like the normal postings referencing certain statutes.

For example, would this posting hold any validity?
