First Watch Restaurants

[Rhino]

The one at 75 and W Campbell Rd in Dallas does NOT have the signs yet. Maybe this is up the individual managers?

Never heard of them but now I will avoid them. Thanks for the heads up.

Strictly an observation and opinion, and not a suggestion or criticism of what anyone else does.

IMO, I don't care what sign is displayed at the entrance to a business or establishment, or whether it conforms the the legal statutes to inform people that firearms are prohibited. I get the gist of what they are saying. They don't want guns within their premises. Regardless of why, or their reasons, I care not to know. I just know that me and my wallet will be going elsewhere.

Me and my wallet, we do our walking!

Somebody in the restaurant business needs to open one that requires everyone to be armed! Or at least one person with each group.

If they don't have one, they need to rent one at the door! I've been a few places that needed this rule.

Note on the restaurant the requires guns
Will this place be like places that require Ties to
be seated? If so will they have a small selection
of cheap ugly guns and holsters from which customer
can borrow in order to comply?

Wife and I go to a local First Watch each Saturday and enjoy it. I asked the manager today whom we've known for the longest, if it was true they were going to outlaw all guns on their premises. She laughed and said she just got an email from corporate it's true and would be getting new signs versus existing on door, the one from TABC about the unlicensed possession is prohibited. This will not influence our going to eat there and I'm LTC. My doctor has a sign prohibiting all firearms for several years and it hasn't prevented me from seeing him every 3 weeks. I won't choose places based on signs prohibiting firearms. I can understand their doing it because with CC they won't be able to regulate who comes in so now will prohibit all firearms. I don't support that but I understand it. She said her customers carry concealed and if still come in and concealed with this, who will know? I really hope there aren't going to be a bunch of bubbas open carrying anywhere. Even though LTC can open carry now, how often do you see it, versus the shirt tail out crowd?

So their new signs will make sure no criminals come in and kill the patrons. How comforting. What if they outlaw LTC? Will you still give them your dollars?

Never heard of them

Odd they waited till Texas law was changed, since so many other states were OC before Texas.

My money only goes where it is welcome without restrictions.

If so.....Taurus's, High Points, and Kel-Tecs will be seated next to the restroom doors.

They need to post all three signs then.

I think they should let gun owners carry their guns its safer for everyone. The discussion on here has been about what signs they would be posting. First it was 30.05 which some were arguing prevents guns which it doesn't

Just carry concealed and try to do it well. If you get caught pay the bill and leave. Don't make a scene. You should not have chosen a restaurant that dos not support the Constitution anyway. But don't be understanding. This is just the first issue the Socialist want to remove. Next will be your right to speak up at all. Look at England. There is a camera everywhere and you can be jailed for making funny faces or complaining about them
You can really hurt their bottom line with an honest review.
We lost our top rating on google because some old lady complained we put too much meat on her sandwich. The online review is important to some. If you want to park your AR in the next seat at our place all we ask is proper muzzle control. Always surprised how few do open carry but we don't even look for others. The employees can conceal if they want.

Carrying concealed don't mean squat if a "situation" arises and a person is already breaking the law just by being there having a meal and packing. CC has and will remove rights from the LTC but at least we can buy a firearm w/o a background check for 5 years.

Which rights has a LTC lost? Possible loss of some rights carrying a long gun but I am curious to know what rights a LTC has lost.

I ate at one in Atlanta a couple years ago; nice place, good food, slightly pricey, but bigger portions.
I always had a good time there, even used the big tables as an office more than once while running a project around the corner from one.

Sad to see them go this direction, but I stay out of any place with signs like that firstly because it's a 'welcome mat' to people who want to do the most harm to innocent civilians.
