Dear Mr. Garner:
I have been forwarded your e-mail of October 16, 2003 for response regarding our sign regarding handguns at the Lewisville Hooters restaurant. While we certainly recognize that for you or any other Texas citizen to acquire a Concealed Handgun Permit, you must pass certain background checks as well as written and physical tests, we nonetheless prefer to take the steps we deem necessary to ensure as much as possible the safety of our guests and employees. Moreover, because each Hooters restaurant serves alcoholic beverages, we believe that the consumption of alcohol and the presence of firearms is not a very good combination. While I am sure that you are responsible in your carrying of firearms, it is a sad fact that many people are not. It is for these as well as other reasons that Texas Wings, Inc. has installed the signs like the one you saw in Lewisville
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions regarding our policies.
John B. Gessner, General Counsel
