Austin area restaurants posting 30.07

[hardcase60]

Expect a real upswing in auto burglaries. Licensee goes up to a business see's a 30.07 and maybe a 30.06 sign. Doesn't have any choice but return to his vehicle and stow the firearm. Parking lot urchins are running over one another to see who gets to the vehicle first. I know the argument "just don't go in or take your business somewhere else". I can also see circumstances where those are not options or people won't exercise them.

Yes he does.

 

[phatcyclist]

Yes he does.

Unless it's a grocery store, all of them in Austin will be posting a 30.07 eventually.

No, they wont. That's hyperbole.

I'll believe it when I (don't) see it. HEB, Whole Foods, Central Market, Fiesta, and Randall's are all posting the signs. Target and Costco plan to as well. I'd be extremely surprised if little mom & pop stores don't post them in this city, unwilling to be labeled as anti-Austin by the general public here if they don't

There's Walmart, but they've already said they will stop you at the door and call a manager to check your license; So as long as you don't mind wasting 10 minutes to walk in the door, then I guess you can call Walmart accepting of OC.

You still shop in Austin? I stopped buying groceries in Austin because of the stupid bag ban.

Luckily, I live close enough to the city limits that I can shop outside Austin without much hassle. Of course, the only grocery stores around there are places I mentioned previously.

Wal-mart is full of shit. That's propaganda to cool the anti's. I've been to Walmart several times since OC started here and have had question zero.

My answer to Walmart would be "no, I won't show you my license." If they ask me to leave because of that I will, then I'll notify their risk management department of the risk they're exposing unarmed, unarmored employees to by having them walk up to people with guns and ask if they're legal.

What if the answer is no... and it escalates? OSHA wouldn't like that.

I was with you until OSHA.

A buddy of mine runs a print shop in town. He said they've received plenty of request for quotes on 30.07 signs but when they tell them it runs about $60 per sign they never hear back.

Took that as a decent sign. (Pun fully intended.)

That explains all the cheap bastards trying to get by with 8"X11" sheets of paper.

This alone might make the $200 ticket worth it.....

Matts El Rancho in Austin has the 30.07 sign inside the building on the left side of the entryway. I had to look all over for it since I heard they were posted. I talked to a supervisor of some kind and informed him the sign needs to go outside since the only the way to get notice is after you entered the premise. He understood, but people higher than him made the decision and if someone comes carrying open they will tell them to not open carry. I told him if it was outside people could decide to eat elsewhere prior to entering.

Stupid, but their house, their rules.....

That's free meat.

Armed rats? That could explain the signs

Notice can be give prior to or after entering.

Chez Zee has a 30.07 sign posted outside, doesn't look like a legit sign but the intent is clear.

Strange - they didn't last week. That makes me sad.
