Just had my first restauraunt "incident" while OC in Virginia. I went out for dinner with my wife and son to Logan's Roadhouse tonight, sat down, ordered drinks then food... 5 minutes later the manager on duty comes by my table.
He informed me that Logan's has a new policy as of six months ago that bans all firearms from their property and the reason is two fold, first he mentioned insurance costs... plausible I geuss, considering some gun shops and shows have this... Then he said that a few months ago a law was passed that [outright] banned firearms in resaurants that serve alcohol. I politely informed him that he was mistaken, and related the Va. law that was passed last year that allowed carry in restaurants but not consumption.
He apologized rather non chalantly but insisted that it was still against company policy to have any firearms on the property. He never mentioned CC, just out right not allowed on the property. I didn't offer to CC, I just bluntly asked my wife if she wanted to eat elsewhere and we got up and left. I made sure to hand over a No guns No money card before we left.
I forgot to ask if there was a customer complaint about it but I am not sure if it would have meant anything when you consider how flimsy his reasons were.
Tomorrow I will draft a letter to corporate about it and see what happens. My suspicions are that a company memo came out about a different state's law that only affected that state and he mistakenly applied it to all Logan's property nationwide. Or that it was just employees could not carry on property per corporate policy. Or he was talking out of his ass to appease another customer that complained...
I have carried at this particular Logan's at least 15 times in the last 8 months or so, never had any issue before, nor have I heard/read of other OCers having issues at any Logan's. We shall have to wait and aee how this pans out. I am currently writing this from my table at Famous Dave's, where the door greeter looked at my hip, smiled, and welcomes us and sat us at our table. I think I may write a thank you to FD thanking them for not having a policy that leaves me and my family defenseless from criminals in their parking lot and espouse my eagerness to eat there more often now.
My wife is furious, and if she wrote this it might be all caps... And all stars from Grapeshot censoring it.
