Panera joins the "No Guns" crowd

I mostly agree with you, but I disagree about the win. It looks bad for gun owners, and supports the concept that guns are bad.

I thought a Panera was a car or a band.....

Let's see how many of these companies back peddle when they see the results of the lawsuits from Century theater in Aurora....

They will rationalize it as cost of doing business and raise prices to pay for more insurance.

Paneras request has been noted and ignored.

Next time my wife picks Panera for lunch stop, I will open carry in hopes they ask me to leave and I can get out of paying stupid high prices for tiny portions of food.

LOL, MSNBC article.

Unlike many of the anti-gunners, I can read. It took them 45 minutes to fix my soup and salad with me standing by the counter waiting for them to call my name. The first time I went, I didn't know their service was shit. The second time, I was hoping the first time was a fluke. There will be no third time.

Thought it said Pantera at first, no way those guys are defiantly pro-gun.

Honestly, I kind of liked Panera. Getting a sourdough bowl of uber-unhealthy soup on a cold day and then dipping the bread in it is pretty yummy. I too frequented Panera in 2006-2007 when there were one of the few places with free wi-fi. I maybe only go there once or twice a year now, but if they are going to throw their little dicks up on the counter like this, I'll smash 'em with a hammer. My money is going elsewhere now.

What exactly is "defiantly pro-gun"? Do they open carry machine guns in federal buildings?? [LOL]
