To Long Gun Open Carry in a Restaurant scenario.

I do not support...

....long gun open carry at all.

Except in the woods, or in a small town adjoining hunting lands. Such as my town.

I honestly do not think that being uncomfortable about the photo of the two yahoos in Burger King is unreasonable.

(I'm not sure if the photo is in this thread somewhere, but I am sure you have seen it recently.)

The photo did make me feel like thinking through the scenario, as good LEOs or military are trained to do.

I came up with - finding the manager and asking for an opinion. After my family goes to sit in the car.

My involvement would be - to call 911 if requested and stand fast for the police response.

If the manager was cool with the guns - I would ask for takeout and finish my meal at home.

I believe that these scenarios are cultural - some places do, some places don't.

If I were on the road and happened into a long gun open carry friendly region - I would have to rethink my reaction, just try to stick to places that are more upscale, perhaps, even if it costs more. People in suits and dresses usually do not carry rifles.

Where I am from, the 'rifle in a restaurant' scenario is no go.
