SC bar posts sneering message for gun owners

[level0]

I can't speak for everyone, but I personally have a hard time willingly handing over my money to someone calling me a douchebag. There are plenty of other vendors out there who treat me like they value my business.

I don't get the butthurt. If a bakery can deny service to a select group of people and that's OK, then why isn't this? Colour me confused.

Clearly you were never married.

They're entitled to their opinion just like we and others like us are entitled to not spend our money there. I have no problems with a business posting a sign like that as it makes my choices of what establishments I would like to patronize that much shorter!

HAHAHAHAHA!!

 

[avboiler11]

Business owner is entitled to his views, and to run his business as sees fit. Don't have to like it, don't have to patronize the business...end outrage.

If somebody disregarded his sign, however, and the owner realized somebody was CC'ing in his establishment...I wonder if his sign constitutes force of law (ie. CCer is breaking a statue) or if he can simply be asked to leave.

I was thinking the same thing.....

I can understand his NO GUNS policy. With an attitude like his... he's gonna get a bump or two on his noggin' eventually anyway. He don't want shot.

This is true. We should either all be allowed to sue for discrimination, or we should all just get over it and move to the next business that accepts our lifestyles. As it stands parts of society loose in both cases and other parts win in both cases.

I don't think the bakery hung a sign up calling the select group a distinctive name! For me, I've seen many no guns allowed signs, first time I've seen a place of business call ya a douchebag for doing so!, , , what color is the color of confused??

 

[avboiler11]

Sticks and stones may break your bones, but being called a douchebag is hardly the end of the world.

While the insult is not warranted, it's their property. While we all disagree with the owner's rule it's still his business. Gun carrying citizens can do their part by not spending money there.

Yeah, but if you go back from before, it got like 3-4 reviews. Not great, but clearly not part of an organized campaign against him. Which is why I say that posting reviews of a business one has have never frequented makes us all look bad.

I don't think it's the rule that has people riled, or most people anyway. It's the editorial commentary that accompanies it. If there was an establishment that I liked that had a No Weapons sign, I'd probably just shrug and leave the weapon behind. Their business, and all that. But to suggest that I'm a "douchbag" is an unnecessary addition that would keep me out even if I didn't even intend on carrying there.

Not sure how much business they'll actually lose. Had to say how large the CCW crowd is in SC.

It's also a dive bar which tends to see the same local crowd all of the time, many of whom will often be of similar mindset as the owner. He may lose a few customers over it, but places like that rarely do volume business so he can afford to not really care what people think of him.

Right. He chose to be confrontational and insulting, rather than politely request such.

Makes sense!! Tie-dye always confuses me.

 

[eachitandi]

Exercising his 1st amendment right to insult those that exercise their 2nd amendment right....irony?

 

[KG1]

Meh...I've been called worse by higher class people. This has zero effect on me.

I totally agree. There is no need to insult people like that. Or who knows, maybe he's just tired of having customers.
