He must not want to be in business much longer.



Backstreets Pub & Deli - Clemson, SC | Yelp

Some of these reviews are excellent:

Before making the call to ban weapon permit holders from carrying within your establishment remember,
-They have never been convicted of a felony
-Never been convicted of a crime of violence
-Never been convicted of a domestic assault
-Not on any drugs
-Not a fugitive of justice
-Passed state and federal background checks

What do you know about your customers?

From the ClemsonWiki:

Backstreets is one of Clemson's bars, founded in 1992, located on top of and behind Overtime. Convenient since they are both owned by the same person. The interior of Backstreets is decorated with items that befit an antiques shop, including a cigar store Indian. Check out the stained glass windows, including a Grateful Dead "Steal Your Face", done by Pete Matsko, the proprietor! All other the stained glass windows have been built on the premises by artist-in-residence Emily Fazio and her students.

As mentioned above, he also owns Overtime Sports Bar. Info here. https://www.facebook.com/OvertimeClemson

*facepalm*

He's in a town of less than 14,000 people too. Brilliant, this one.

 

[Younggun]

Judging by the sign, he seems a little unstable.

 

[diveRN]

Now he's calling people who carry concealed, "mouth breathing morons."

Latest I've read is that his Facebook page and telephone number have been disconnected.

Glad he let his customers know how he feels.

 

[BIGPAPIGREG]

was he calling us Douche Bags....................or was he signing his name?

While the original sign is obviously not a "legit" sign, does the fact that it was put there by the owner give it any weight?
I mean, does it serve the same as "notice"?

According to SC law,

WHEW!!!!!! Thank goodness, it don't say a damn thing about Douche Bags......we are in the clear.

The vast majority of those reviews were posted in the last 2 days and from people who have never been and were just expressing their view that the owner is a moron. I think Facebook would have been a more appropriate place for that. (I'm a Yelper and think it should be used for reviewing places you've been. In fact, I'm pretty sure Yelp will pull them down once they look at them.)

But, the guy is a moron.

It's not far from a "legit" sign, all he needs is the gun with a slash through it for it to fit into their law, IMHO.

SECTION 23-31-235. Sign requirements.

(4) contain a black silhouette of a handgun inside a circle seven inches in diameter with a diagonal line that runs from the lower left to the upper right at a forty-five degree angle from the horizontal;

(5) a diameter of a circle; and

(6) placed not less than forty inches and not more than sixty inches from the bottom of the building's entrance door.

(C) If the premises where concealable weapons are prohibited does not have doors, then the signs contained in subsection (A) must be:

(1) thirty-six inches wide by forty-eight inches tall in size;

(2) contain the words "NO CONCEALABLE WEAPONS ALLOWED" in black three- inch tall uppercase type at the bottom of the sign and centered between the lateral edges of the sign;

What is the Texas law concerning "non 30.06" signs put up by the owner of an establishment, is it different??

Unless it's a 51% place, or verbally relayed to you, it means bupkiss (sp?).

The law is pretty specific in terms of how they tell you they don't want you there.

That said, if the sign is not up to spec and you carry past it and get caught you might run into the 'beat the rap but not the ride' problem.

So, verbally is the difference, eh....

Do you think he's smart enough to realize my 2nd Amendment protects his First Amendment? NAW, what was I thinking!

 

[ROGER4314]

The business owner needs us a Hell of a lot more than we need him! These are hard times and for a business to run off ANY customers is really a stupid move!
