I Just wanted to share my experience this Sunday at buffalo wild wings in Kennessaw Ga. My friends and I stopped by BWW for some lunch after a morning of riding motorcycles, (We all rode together in a friends car to the restaurant) We waited about 20 minutes to get seated because the place was full due to the football games (all the time I had my M9 in a serpa on my hip). After being seated we ordered our drinks (sweet tea) and then a few minutes later ordered our food. Not 30 seconds after we ordered our food the manager walked up and took a knee beside my chair, he said "do you mind leaving your gun in your car while you are here" I said "excuse me are you the manager" he said "yes" I said "is this considered a bar" he said "bar and grill and it IS corporate policy that only uniformed police can carry in the restaurant" I said "Ok".
At this point I got up and walked out to my friends car and placed my firearm in the car and secured it. Well, as secure as it could be in a car in the parking lot. I came back in and finished the meal with my friends.
While my friends walked out I walked up to the counter and asked for the manager. When he came out I told him that if I had not been here with friends I would have left when he asked me to remove my firearm and that I would not be returning to BWW in the future. I also told him that if it was a big concern of his company they should post signs on the outside of the building stating they do not allow firearms to warn Americans not to do business there. I told him I do not blame him for enforcing company policy but not to worry that I would use the internet to help spread the word that Buffalo Wild Wings is not a supporter of the second amendment. I thanked him for his time and left.
I have to admit this is the first time I have run into this situation, Here in Georgia I open carry everywhere and I mean everywhere, the bank, the grocery store, restaurants, you name it, and have not ever had this happen. I think the forum should start a thread and sticky it with places that are "no carry zones" so people like me can take my business elsewhere.
Thanks for reading
