Today, my wife and I had errands to run in Richmond. Since we were in the area of Parham and Broad, we decided to eat at Fuddruckers.
As I got to the door, I stopped dead in my tracks. On the door was lettering that said "No Guns". As it happens, my gun was in the car anyway, but I absolutely refuse to patronize a business that doesn't believe in one of the most basic Virginia Rights.
We have eaten at Fuddruckers for years and on occasion, gone there with VCDL members after meetings.
I told my wife we were going to the River City Diner and would meet her in the car.
I went in and asked for the manager. She came out and I gave her a card. I asked how long the sign had beeen there, knowing it hadn't been long. She said they were robbed a couple of weeks ago and the next morning the sign went up.
I told her that they were going to lose a lot of business. She said I could bring my gun in if I wanted. I explained it wasn't the gun, it was the principle and as long as that sign was still there, I wouldn't come back.
I also explained that if lawful gun owners had been carrying then, the thieves would have looked for an easier target,
So Fuddruckers is on the Old Virginia blacklist. Hopefully the thousands of law abiding gun owners in the area will take notice,
