Whataburger says no open carry

[bcoop]

Got me thinking, What-a-burger operates out of ten states, eight of which already had open carry before this. I doubt this ever an issue in those states before? So why make an announcement?

HQ'd here.

Wrong. Second hand smoke is what makes this apples and oranges.

Why? There has never been proof that second hand smoke causes any health problems. There has only been conjecture on that matter.

FYI I am not a smoker and have benefited greatly because of the public smoking bans.

Certainly whataburger's right to do this. I won't go there any more though. I'm not 100% in love with open carry but I am in favor of presenting a united front to the gun control morons. If you break ranks, you'll no longer get my support.

This is logical.

Whataburger has the right to say you cannot do "X" in their establishment.

You have the right to not patronize their establishment based on whatever you want.

More double meat double cheeseburgers for me then.

I will have to disagree on that.

The Whataburger in my town is the hot spot for the high school kids.

You also said that Whataburger was "exercising restrictions on our rights," and that's not correct.

How is it not?

[Cooter]

This thread is so fucking stupid.

They own the goddamn business. If they say "we require that patrons wear clown wigs and tutus to patronize our establishment" then they can fucking do it without infringing on shit.

My opinion is the government can stay the fuck out of private business, regardless of the issue.

This would be very, very bad.

[Nash B.]

Also, I never said that Whataburger shouldn't be able to, I just said it was stupid of them to go that route.

Jeez...you'd think What-A-Burger is giving a giant finger to the state of Texas the way the headlines/articles the MSM has out there. They're all vomiting the same AP story.

That's fine, then don't. I don't see value added for restrictions it.

Guns scare people that eat at Whataburger. Whataburger says please keep your guns concealed: out of sight, out of mind. People that are scared of guns are satisfied; people that conceal are satisfied; and only the people that want to open carry are upset.
