I think he is worried about his penis.

Dumb phuq.

Target DID NOT BAN GUNS. They merely, politely, asked folks to leave their “penis jewelry” sommers else.

The stupid son-of-a-bitch obviously failing to recognize that the sane members of the community (yes, even in Louisiana) will never patronize his restaurant again. Hope he’s laid on a grease-carbs-and-salt menu for the fatassed gun fetishists who will now form his sole clientele.

I know when I go out for a relaxing evening of good food and spiritous liquor in a hard-drinking town, I want to go to a restaurant that made itself a magnet for paranoid cowards who are constantly processing every out of the ordinary occurrence through a “shoot-don’t shoot” filter.

Good thing there are never any unexpected loud noises in restaurants.

Well, we can either choose to get along because it’s the civilized and moral thing to do, or we can all just carry a gun around and hope that that forces us to be nice to each other. Hmm, I wonder which is a better approach?

It’s probably a failing on my part, but every time I see this kind of thing I think “Wow, what would he do if a bunch of armed black guys came in for the discount?”

I’d like to see the look on his face when I walk in and unzip and display my ‘weapon’.

This works fine for me. It also does many folks a favor by letting them know where not to dine.

Hopefully this restaurant isn’t on the cheatin’ side of town. If it is make sure you request seating against a wall, preferably facing the entrance or the bar. Of course, bring a weapon and remember, bad tippers bring out the worst in people.

You’ve just literally described Texas (where I live) rationales for both open- and concealed-carry: “Waal, iffen folks dunno whether some’un else maht be carryin’, reckon they’ll be more p’lite!”

I think that’s called a conundrum.
