Chipotle

NEW YORK (AP) — Chipotle is asking customers not to bring firearms into its stores after it says gun rights advocates brought military-style assault rifles into one of its restaurants in Texas.

The Denver-based company notes that it has traditionally complied with local laws regarding open and concealed firearms.

But in a statement Monday, the company said that "the display of firearms in our restaurants has now created an environment that is potentially intimidating or uncomfortable for many of our customers."

I'm all for open/concealed carry, however people need to stop turning business's into political rallying points. These places are there for one reason - make a profit, not a political statement, and by doing stuff like this people are alienating a business that wasn't turning firearms away. Last large business was Starbucks, now this one. People need to use some common sense and realize that if you make patrons uncomfortable, the business is going to ask you to leave. What's everyone else's opinion?

Some people are shooting us in the foot so to speak. They don't realise how it looks to the gun hateing public and just gives them ammo aginst us.

It's not even so much the gun hating public that I worry about, it's the middle of the road people...the ones who own a single 38 that never leaves the nightstand and still has the same bullets they put in it back in 1980. They were once on our side, now they're sliding towards the antis because of the antics of a few dumbasses.

Hell I'm about as pro 2nd amendment as you can get, and I don't want to sit next to a table full of folks with ARs slung over their shoulders while I'm at dinner with my daughter.

This type of bullshit really hurts us.
I think the guys that do this have small dick syndrome.

 

[FrankT]

yeah, you cannot do that to businesses and expect them to stay on our side and the average public will be turned off too.

Maybe the morons with their AR's were puppets sent in there by gun control advocates to scare the public? Who else would be dumb enough to tote their rifle into an eating establishment?

Either way, no big loss. Chipotle sucks anyways

That's what I was thinking... either they are some STUPID gun lovers, or they are some crafty gun haters. Either way, they're not doing the rest of us any favors.

This^^^^

I do believe there is some setups going on to make gun owners look bad.

Since this happened in Texas it could very well be either way (stupid gun owners or crafty gun haters). But I find it especially interesting that this happened over the weekend and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America was right there Monday morning to exploit the incident. I smell something and it is not bad Mexican food. I think if you look up these moms skirts you will find Michael Bloomberg hiding. This crowd has done the same thing at Jack in the Box and a few other places.

That article lost me at "military-style assault rifles". People that think this is a good idea have no business representing the average gun owner, and I encourage everyone to make that a vocal point. Any time someone points to incidents like that, I let them know there are morons in every crowd, even theirs and they do not represent us all.

As for Chipotle? Big deal. Their food is overpriced and not that good. I'll stick with Tijuana Flats.

 

[FUPAGUNT]

Still think that whole ordeal was a setup

 

[Seanpcola]

Yep,

It would be hard for me to believe that you could find more than three people together that would think something like that display would be a good idea. I'm sure there are pockets of stupid around the country but this just seems too staged.

Could be some of Bloombergs followers but a lot of these"open carry" groups are pretty radical.
