Chipotle says leave your guns at home

[10mm-man]

exactly. they wanted attention and to shock people...well good job. we have had this discussion many times. open carrying your 1911 or other sidearm and NOT TRYING TO BE AN ASSHOLE IS ONE THING. carrying your AR into a business and making it an issue is stupid. Im sure most of you would be mad if a dozen flaming, flamboyantly gay men wearing nothing but leather thongs and dog collars gathered at chipotle while making out. its the same thing. if you do it...you are a dumbass.

the really stupid part is.. its not like these morons open carry their rifles to their jobs, church, and every other store. they just did this to be assholes because mom kicked them out of the basement so she could fumigate and do their laundry. most of them havent probably left moms basement since the last killer video game came out.

Actually I think they do; if I am correct, they do it to protest (not being able to) open carry of pistols in Texas because it's not legal. They are trying to change the laws, to be allowed to open carry a pistol. So they go around, and have open rifle carry at various venues around the state.

Won't affect my dining or carry habits one little bit.

Natural ingredients in delicious, nutrient-dense food from a locally-based company? Sorry liberals, but I'm not leaving that all behind just 'cause you're afraid of my carry pistol. Deal with it.

I still like them better than qdoba so I'll keep eating there.


although they did piss me off when they stopped giving free drinks with a student ID.

This isn't even a political issue, it is a business one. I support open carry. I don't support dragging a politcal rally through an otherwise uninvolved business. Open carrying rifles through the streets behind women and children would go over about as well.

Chipotle's too expensive, anyways. Those f'ers always surprise upsell you, too. "Oh you asked for a tiny bit of guacamole, that will be $5 more, please".

Over priced over rated and they hire illegal aliens. We don't spend our money there anyway.

if by surprised you mean people that can't read the menu and prices. if you ask for something extra and then are shocked by the price its no ones fault but you own. its listed plain as day. its $6.50 for a burrito bowl. not cheap, but hardly expensive. most subway foot longs are $6 and up. most mcdonalds meals are $5.50 and up. two taco bell quesadillas are $6.50. qdoba is about the same as chipotle. all that and chipotle is healthier and cleaner.

im not sure why people always get their panties in a bunch over this stuff. its a business, what do you expect them to do? they have to consider all their customers, including the ones that get very uncomfortable. what is the point really of open carrying? yes, its your right, but so is freedom of speech and freedom of religion, does that mean we don't all use common sense and exercise restraint? if you CAN'T get a CC for whatever reason, then yes open carrying is the next best option. otherwise it just draws attention, from both good and bad guys. it isn't like chipotle came out and said they hate all gun owners and don't want to serve them, they just want to try to avoid bad situations, which apparently people such as the ones in the story are hell bent on achieving.

you want to change people's minds on guns? act like a normal person who knows there is a time and place and uses common sense. when people realize you aren't all about yourself and actually consider others and know there are certain instances you need to refrain from drawing attention, they will realize you are just like everyone else. people don't want to see guns in their faces any more than i want to see gay men grabbing each other in public. when i see it flaunted simply because its their right and they can, it disgusts me and angers me. luckily i have several friends who are gay and aren't like that and it completely changes my perception of their community.
