“If they are going to bring a gun into a restaurant, they don’t care if you have a sign outside,” - smartest thing she said the whole thing.
As it says in the article, Maine has no permit or registration laws, guns are popular. When is the last time you heard about Maine in the news for a shooting?
Ignorant idea from an ignorant person. I agree it's her business and ability to say/do whatever she wants, but it just doesn't make any sense.

This lady has a right to run her business anyway she sees fit. But this is no different than a sign saying no blacks allowed. And we know how that would go over with the government and the media. But gun owners are treated as second-class Citizens and that is become socially acceptable and legally acceptable. We need to change this culture and it's already started.

Well, if blacks are still being treated this way after "400 years" (as some like to put it), gun owners are gonna be demonized for a millenia for sure.

So...Is that the first question on the menu...Do you like assault weapons? Or is it a question that you are asked when being seated?
Not sure who's business it is to ask you this or compelling you to answer.
I will eat anywhere I damn please because I am not walking in waving an assault rifle or wearing a sign that I do so.
No different than walking into a store that is ANTI GUN. I dont advertise. Its the name of this game.
I hope her restaurants lose enough business that she needs to shut down.

If you open your mouth about an issue, prepare for the flies that may fly in.
I don't like the idea about threats and bogus reservations but this First Amendment thing works both ways.

I love the whole fake reservations. You wanna take a stand on an issue you know nothing about? Fine, deal with some bullshit on your end too.
If my waiter asks me if I support guns or own any, I'll say no, order my meal, eat, tip the waiter and leave. On my way out, I'll be sure to tell the host or manager on duty that not only do I fully support the 2A, I'm actually carrying as we speak. The meal was delicious, thanks for that. Just wanna see her face, lol.

I can see where you want to have the last laugh...But screw 'em. I owe them nothing. They are insignificant to me. My telling them how I feel gains me nothing because they have no direct affect on the 2A.
Now if they were doing something to directly deny me my right, than I would start the debate ultimately evolving into a public scene.

When the (democrat) KKK suppressed blacks it was a civil rights issue. When anti-constitutional bigots of any ilk, stripe, or color actively try to suppress the constitutional rights of over 1/3 of the American population, that too is a civil rights issue, and they should be called out at every turn.

Maybe we should start a "GUNS MATTER" movement!
What bothers me about stuff like this is the lack of thought and fact that goes into it.

I like to have the last laugh by being a total dick. It gives me personal satisfaction. I definitely agree with your take though, I definitely owe them nothing, they mean nothing to me. Being a dick is what matters to me. Doing it either over the top or politely in your face, I'm impartial. In this case, I'll be nice, but I won't let you forget either. I don't make public scenes.
I think to the point of your other post, I'm down with a "Black Guns Matter" shirt

She is entitled to her opinion. She also owns the establishment and can set the rules for people who patronize it. I think its a stupid move to mix your politics with your business but thats just my 
. In my line of work i meet 5-10 new people a day in their homes, very rarely will i talk about politics or religion, even when the homeowner starts the conversation. Here in the Buffalo area its very liberal but their money is just as green.

Why the outrage?
She is entitled to say what she wants.
I find her logic quite stupid but this is no reason for trashing or even threatening this person.

If the waiter asked me what?... If the waiter asked me anything I felt inappropriate I would respond that it's none of his damned business! What if the waiter or restaurant owner was Black and chose to only serve those who supported BLM? Huh? Would that appease the tree huggin criminal migrant coddlers? How does it differ from baking a cake and violating rights? I would sue if they refused me service, period! Can't have it both ways...

I have been saying this all along. The Supreme Court cracked the door open when they said that states can impose some restriction on guns. Now what is the difference in saying States can impose some restrictions on who sits where in a bus. Other that the right to own firearms is specifically mentioned in the US Constitution, nothing.
Now comes the Skittles controversy and the liberals go ape shit on the horror of banning a whole bag of skittles just because three of them are poison because they know they are backed in a corner on Muslim migrants. But, is this exactly what they do with gun control? Isn't that what happened in Australia?
The new progressive mantra: It is better for me to die because of the poison skittle because I saved the rest of the bag from being thrown out. So friggin honorable from a group of whiny ass effeminate unicorn bitches that have no honor.

People should be able to and indeed have the right to run their business the way they see fit, weather it is a constitutionally guaranteed right or something lesser like the color of someones skin, their sexual persuasion, or even like to smoke at their table after a meal, drink, whatever. Well that is except in gulag NYSSR and some other socialist enclaves, where the state will tell you just what you will do, ahhhhhhh makes everything so much easier doesn't it.

With their gun laws there, how much gun violence do they have there?

Doubt she would have said what she did if Rashaad, Hakeem and Chaquille went in to the restaurant late one night and told her I want a piece a your ass!
She would have welcomed the assault rifle like a hooker at a truck stop.

Hell no. We don't need MORE people with her mindset here. That's only making OUR problem worse.

It's her right to say that. It's also other's right to not patronize her establishments.

I wonder what she is going to do if a Muslim comes to her business and demands they stop serving pork?
Brainless little liberal would probably 86 the pork for everyone.
