Comments on: Passing the Buck http://www.pagunblog.com/2009/07/17/passing-the-buck-2/ The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State ...

In the previous state of law, it wasn't up to the restaurant owner, so even those sympathetic to weapons carriers would not find the restaurant at fault. I know people who refuse to eat at Taco-Mac here in Georgia for those reasons. Which is a shame, I love the nachos. Anyway, if a restaurant owner publishes a No Weapons rule, I'll respect it. It's his property, his rules. I may also decide to eat elsewhere, but I don't dispute his right to run his business as he likes. Funny thing is, in the opt-in method, I would think those that do opt-in would be able to play a serious "Everyone is welcome at JoeBob's Barbecue and Tax Service!" marketing ploy. Perception is reality, as the marketing folks say.
