I am sitting in Panera this afternoon because Comcast has not hooked up my internet yet.
I tried to pull up gunbroker.com and it was blocked by a filter. Glock was blocked. Smith and Wesson was blocked. www.galleryofguns.com was blocked.
I spoke with the manager to see if I could get around the filter, being that I work in law enforcement and have "legitimate business" on those sites, but to no avail. She said that she would not allow "GUNS" in the store if state law allowed her to ban them. She said, "the only reason someone would bring a gun into Panera is if they were robbing us and we don't want that."
I then patted Glock 23 that was silently sitting under my shirt and told her that I will never come back to this store again! In addition, I pointed out that I had been in her store for an hour and I had somehow held back the urge to rob the place, which is probably the case with most people who carry concealed. She said, "I don't know of anyone who carries a gun here!" I said, "That's the point of a concealed weapon... you just never know!"
I started to walke out and told her that I am posting this on all of the firearms sites I can find!
