May I suggest the bacon, lettuce and tomato bagel. It's great!!!
Sounds like I may have to go out of my way to try one of these.

Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Most here subscribe to the tenant that we do not castigate any occupation generally - point of fact to do so is in direct violation of Forum Rules
I have never heard or seen Agent19/Marco even approach that line. He speaks to the facts, not personalities or demeaning someone because of their job description. He is well respected here for his responsible thoughts.

Thanks for the kindness.
I generally try not to run afoul but I probably have a few times.
I'm glad this issue with Bodo's policy (miscommunication/understanding) is finally cleared up.
Thanks to Jay for bring this matter to our attention and Bodo's owners for clearing up their postion.

'OC is OK'.....until it is not OK.
'CC is OK' unless a citizen happens to notice your firearm then CC might not be OK.
The claim of 'OC is OK' is not absolute, nor is 'CC is OK' absolute, therefore Bodo's should be avoided based on their anti-firearm position (policy?).
Simply stated, do not patronize Bodo's they are anti-firearm and by extension anti-liberty.

I thought the same based on what I read....until this statement.:
If this isn't true we'll know soon enough.
I for one will accept the owner at his word.
Why, he finally gave the readers digest version and said "Yes, OC is OK"
He later said OC'ers were held to the same standards as no gun people. To me that means if someone comes in and behaves badely, OC,CC,NC...they're gonna go.
Despite the fact that the drive through gourmet eats there (gets food there really) that answer is good enough.
Also despite the "I dare you attitude) of said peanut gallery, I don't think Bodo's wants this thread with a hidden camera view of them breaking their word, on You Tube and embedded in every Pro Gun site around.
Don't bother answering Sheriff. I had to take you off ignore to copy the thread but I put you right back on!

The chicken salad on plain ROCKS!!! I must admit that the tea needs sugar though lol... :monkey
I read Bodo's comments to say it is not the gun that will determine any negative reaction but the conduct of the individual.
I respect that position and think the air has been well cleared.
Is not that exactly what we have said so many times, so many ways?
Be responsible, just go about your normal everyday business - doesn't hurt to smile, say please and thank you either.

I have read all that Bodo wrote and Bodo has not changed his position on what may/will be required of the OCer, and likely the CCer, based singularly on that citizen being lawfully armed, due to 'concerns' raised by other citizen patrons and/or Bodo's staff.
Bodo's concern for citizen patrons and Bodo's staff is laudable and quite appropriate.
Bodo's can not address the concerns of a citizen patron until that citizen patron raises a concern.
Bodo's can address the concerns of his staff, as has many many other business owners/managers via training and disciplined supervision. OC is legal in Virginia.
I stand by my call for the avoidance of Bodo's due to Bodo's ambiguity on lawfully OC'd, and CC'd for that matter, firearms on Bodo's property.

This is exactly why I said I would not stop going to Bodo's, no matter his gun policy was. :banghead:

Hummm.....bagels or rights? Real hard decision...
In the end Mr. Bodo has moved in the right direction (in my humble opinion) and my family will now eat at their establishments everytime we venture onto that side of the mountain and time allows. The unfortunate truth is that Mr. Bodo can't control his customers BUT he can train his employees and sway his policies. I was helped by a super nice younger gal (maybe a little younger than myself) and if she was nervous she sure didn't show it. The customers were nice and the older lady I held the door for was extremely appreciative and even returned the favor when we reached the inner door although I declined and took it for her. All in all I think this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship :lol:

Man that is the truth in so many ways. On occasion I hear about certain people being asked to leave in places that others never have an issue and wonder if they didn't act like loud, obnoxious or rude jerks and the owners were just using the firearm as the excuse to get them out of the store. I know that certainly isn't always or regularly the case, but I'm certain it happens occasionally.
