@Bikenut - so hidden firearms are ok then? My wife was a manager there many, many years ago. They were a poorly ran/organized outfit then and apparently are still so today. Many of the Ryan's / fire mts. Have gone belly up (Taylor / Westland) are examples.
On topic OC'd recently at a Golden Corral OC dinner with a large group carrying legal visible sidearms. Guess what? No issues as it should be.
I honestly don't know at this point. Certainly using the word "visible" firearms in reference to a no guns type policy would lead one to think CC would be Ok... but then there is the link from Dr. Todd in his post above.@Bikenut - so hidden firearms are ok then?

Received a phone call from Old Country Buffet a few moments ago explaining that the "no guns" is a corporate policy. Considering I sent the letter to Corporate only a few hours ago I'm rather impressed by the rapid response.
Ok... now... while it is always discouraging to find a private property business owner who has a "no guns" policy... and I will not patronize any business that has a no gun policy.. and I will endeavor to make sure everyone I know knows it is unwise to spend money at any business that bans guns............. the following needs to be said.
I support the private property owner's right to make the rules on/in their property including making a "no guns" policy/rule because................ just as it is my right to bear arms it is the property owner's right to ban the bearing of arms on/in their property.
I don't have to like no guns policies, I don't have to understand the rationale behind those no gun policies... but if I do not respect the rights of others while expecting my right be respected then I am a hypocrite.
So... I respect the right of the owner's of Old Country Buffet... and the right of Buffet Inc. to make any rules they wish in regards to allowing/disallowing bearing arms on/in their properties.... And I will exercise my freedom to never spend any money supporting their no guns policy by supporting their businesses.
While I encourage those who support the right to bear arms to also not support any business that bans guns I can only make that decision for myself... everyone else must decide for themselves.
Odd, we just had an OC dinner at OCB in BC back in February.....
We were welcomed with open arms (pun intended)

Please understand that the Constitution and the all of the Amendments including the Bill of Rights is only binding on the government... NOT on individual citizens. Nor is it binding on property owners who invite/give permission to people to be on/in their property when they open it to the public.for all of you that think bussinesses have the right to be anti-con., thatch fine but realize you do have the right to protest them also.
that is what the blacks did when they were discriminated against in the 60's

On topic...
Yooperlady and I are about to go have some Tacos and do a little Wal Mart shopping... and I definitely will be OC'ing as usual.
Edited to add:
We are back home and we ate our Tacos and did our shopping and nothing out of the ordinary happened. No drama what so ever. Exactly as it always should be.
