I gotta say that is surprising for an industry that is being legislated out of business.
Restaurants are being legislated out of business ?

...subject to the same "no smoking" regulations as typical restaurants?Don't let the name confuse you.
The Tobacco Company is an upscale restaurant in a converted tobacco warehouse.
And intentionally wrote my letter to be as respectful as possible. For two reasons....first I am not only pro gun but pro private property rights. I see no good reason to seek government regulation (lawsuit) to make them pay for or to prohibit them from making their own rules in their own private property. That is not a direction we need to be headed right now in my opinion. Second I feel that, whether we like it, care for it or not...I believe we need to show as little aggression as possible in protecting our gun rights. The government and the media are trying VERY hard right now to demonize us...to portray us as crazy and mentally insane people..in order to create the public opinion needed to finally push for massive gun control measures. Right now, care for it or not, we would be best to entice these busInesses to respect us, and be our allies. We don't need to create the aggressive persona for the gun grabbers. They want that to be the perception VERY badly.

I truly believe this type of sign is read clearly by and attracts the mass murderer.
Would a mass murderer chose a pro-OC event to open fire on where citizens are allowed and encouraged to exercise their God given right to self defense? i.e. NRA event/OC meet and greet? I DARE THEM! :banana:
They hunt for unarmed fish in a barrel-- this sign is honey in a camp ground where campers expect no bears.
As noted, current name derived from former occupation of the building.lolwhut?
You have to go outside to smoke at a place called The Tobacco Company?

Whether or not they would allow smoking inside, it was all OBE a couple years ago with a new state law. Very few restaurants in Virginia have smoking inside now, they are required to have a completely closed and separately ventilated area if they wish to do so.
I don't really go out of my way to look for them, but I only know of one restaurant that still has a smoking section.

And isn't it something like a $25 fine? Not worth the time to collect.Not to get too far OT TFred, but there are a lot of Beer joints that just ignore the law. Enforcement is almost impossible.

I guess you can tell I don't go to too many beer joints!

"...NRA event..." ????!!!!?!?!??!
The NRA disarmed people at their annual meetings in Charlotte. The supposedly-good, supposedly-pro-gun, NRA chose to hold an event where their attendees would be disarmed. Tell me how THAT is any different.

Didn't know that happened. Inserting foot in mouth now.
My original point was the fact that mass-murderers see the "NO FIREARMS" signs and are drawn to them as their killing ground because they know that no equal or greater resistance will be encountered as they mow down unarmed women, children, and men. You just don't see mass murderers showing up at pro-2a establishments that allow and promote CC/OC because they know better.
