[QUOTE="chuter, post: 2088200, member: 13693"] I just got the following email reply from the local IHOP manager: I really do appreciate that you have been coming to IHOP My name is ---- ------- and I am the franchisee for this location. I wanted personally to reply to your concern regarding the sign on the door. If we knew that all our customers are responsible and mature like you then it would not be a problem. Since the open carry law passed we have had a few incidents with guests as young as early 20's walking in with licensed guns and showing them off to their friends, some but not all had been drinking. That really scared a lot of the waitstaff and some of the guests were offended. As you know we are a 24 hour restaurant and we get a lot of drunk people coming in late night and would prefer they not be carrying a weapon. The sign we have posted is no different than the sign posted on state and federal building who Past the Gun law. as well as some bars, banks, Airports and other business. I understand this issue has a political side to it but honestly that is not my motivation. I just want to make sure that no accidents happen and that my guests and employees are safe. If you walked into the restaurant with a gun in your pocket no one is going to search you anyway but for the legal side of it this hopefully it will protect me. I would hope you change your mind and I hope you would allow me to meet you at the restaurant at your convenience. " I sent the following to his reply: "Thank you for replying so quickly. It really saddens me to hear about the behavior you describe. In the training required to get a license it's made clear that you are not allowed to carry a firearm while drinking. I can certainly understand how you and your employees were uncomfortable with this. Some businesses have decided to put up signs saying "no open carry allowed"; I understand Chelinos has done this. Perhaps this would be a solution for you? Since I and others like me don't want to break the law and possibly loose our license just to eat a meal, I won't be able to eat at IHOP as long as the sign is posted. Hopefully the "no open carry allowed" option will be an option. Thanks again for considering this," DOH! Just noticed "option will be an option",,,,,,duh. [/QUOTE]
