Waffle House

Gun quiz.

Here's a question I hit upon to ask a Liberal babe who is a political basket case. It's probably been asked before, but I've had a bit of fun with it yesterday. I asked five people.

You have the choice of eating in one of two restaurants. You MUST eat in one of them. You know nothing about anyone in either resturant. You DO know that in one resturant ONE man carries a concealed pistol and it's loaded and he knows how to use it. You DO know that in the other eatery there are TWO men carrying concealed pistols and they are ready for action. You also know that the two men are unaware of each other [are not working together]

Let's assume that each place has the same number of patrons. If you are interested in entering the one that is PROBABLY the safest place, which place do you enter?

So my unscientific poll yielded the following results: The two liberal basket-case people I asked said they would enter the ONE GUN establishment because it had fewer guns and fewer chances of anyone getting hurt. Two of the realists I asked immediately said that they would go into the TWO GUN place because there was a chance that if one carrier was "bad" and whipped out his gun, the other might be "good" and take the bad one out. The third realist thought about it a few minutes and then came to the same conclusion.

Sort of a dumb way to spend the day, but it was fun.

My response to the Waffle house signs and policy against concealed carry is simple.

Concealed means CONCEALED. As long as that premise is adhered to, both the signs and the policy are moot points.

Thats all well and good if you live someplace where a sign on the door has no legal weight (I don't believe that there is any requirement for me to follow such a sign here in Colorado). However for folk who live in places like Texas where if a business posts a sign then you can lose your CCW by violating it, then its not a moot point.

I believe that business owners have the right to keep guns out of their businesses, just as we have a right to boycott them for it (the irony is that keeping the law abiding disarmed doesn't keep guns out of their business )

Ala Dan...update yourself on the Applebee's situation. You'll be able to eat there again.

The Waffle House I go to here in Columbia (Garner's Ferry Rd for you local guys) has a sign up that forbids carrying firearms on WaHo property. Fortunately, the sign does not meet the requirments for a legal sign, and I ignore it completely. If they took the time to change the sign to a legal one, I would go somewhere else. Thankfully the people that put it up are just like most people that don't like guns and didn't do any research on the topic before coming to a conclusion. Thing is, that WaHo is the only one around here I've seen that has such a sign posted. Could be because it's not in the nicest part of town. That's probably why there are always cops there, too. Anyway, it can be their policy all day long not to have firearms on their property, but if it isn't posted, that policy means nothing.

When you gotta eat at 3am, there isn't anywhere else around here that's open, so my choice is eat there or don't eat.

The Awffle Houses around here have the no guns signs up., but have never said anything when I wear one of my PIC gun t shirts, (but I'll join in whatever it takes to get the signs down , if y'all say so

Okay, do any of you really think that getting Waffle House to change its policy will do any good? Would it not just be better to boycott Waffle House like we do every other institution until it finally folds under the lack of patronage by gun owners?

Of all the businesses to work with here in the states, why anyone would give a darn about such a disgusting chain as Waffle House is beyond me. Would we not be better off working on business of a little better caliber?

Aside from the unbathed cooks, toothless waitresses, morbidly obese patrons, and dangerously greasy floors, I have always had good experiences at WH.

But no way in hell would I go into one in the middle of the night without my gun
