This was posted on a FB page and I was given permission to share this gentlemans story.
I contact Canes vis their "Contact Us" area on their web site. Here is the message I sent, I have noticed that the Raising Canes in Las Vegas are displaying signs indicating that firearms are not allowed. Is this a company wide policy, or is it left up to the individual managers? As a veteran, a ccw holder and a supporter of the 2nd amendment this is a matter that greatly concerns me and would like to know the reasoning why. I await your response. I'll post their response if I get one.
Going back to our conversation about Rasing Canes, I got a reply from them and thought I'd share.
Mr. Hartig:
Thank you very much for taking the time to contact us about this issue. First and foremost, I am a proud gun owner as is my brother (we’re the partners of this franchise group) and are fully aware of the responsibility it takes to get your CCW. I haven’t met a responsible gun owner who lacks passion on this subject and understand the importance of a response. I can also tell you, we are not patting people down as they enter our locations and you will not be approached unless you are carrying an unlicensed open carry in our locations. If it is concealed, then it should not be an issue. Our managers are not told to approach the table.
For us, it is a matter of perception for mothers with their children and while there is a large portion of guests who feel more comfortable knowing weapons are allowed in a public place, there is also a larger portion who do not.
If a gun is concealed then it shouldn’t be an issue. I appreciate you being forthright and proactive once you saw the sign, but no one is going to ask you to leave your weapons in the car unless you draw attention to them, which I fully trust you do not. The sign protects us in the event someone is discussing their concealed weapon out loud or draws attention to the fact they are carrying in a concealed fashion. We then would approach the table and ask them to remove it from the premises.
We are not asking you to compromise your families safety in the slightest but have this in place to provide an atmosphere/perception for those who are uncomfortable with the thought of guns being around them in public. I hope this explanation provides some but of insight and hopefully lets you know the owners of this restaurant respect and appreciate those who take the responsibility seriously and welcome you in any time. If you have any other questions, comments, or advice I am happy to discuss this with you personally.
Thank you for your time and concern.
