There's no sign at the BWW on Bluebonnet in Baton Rouge

 

[slogoat]

Yea they changed their policy a year ago or more?
and started putting signs on the door.

From Defensive carry;



Makes no sense

Pretty sure the Lake Charles BWW has this sign on the door.

How bout wing stop on Ryan? I gave up on BWW when my buddy ordered a pbr and was charged like 5 bucks for a sing cheap ass beer. Screw that place lol.

 

[AustinBR]

I have never seen the sign on the BWW on Bluebonnet by the mall. My girlfriend wants to get wings tomorrow night...I like Pluckers better though, and they don't seem to have a problem with people's rights. Oh, and their wings are bigger and better. Better service too.

 

[Emperor]

My girlfriend wants to get wings tomorrow night....

May I suggest:

 

[oleheat]

Their wings suck and I don't spend money where I'm not wanted. Winning.




"Cheers, Bitches."

 

[LACamper]

For some reason I thought I saw that they had a class a liquor license...


I'm going to get bashed for this probably but I think the firearm restriction laws should apply equally to LEO and CCW with very few exceptions (gov't buildings, etc) and those only for on duty.... If a store wants to ban firearms then police shouldn't be allowed to carry in there either unless its an emergency call.

 

[corey d]

I never have and never will step foot in that POS BWW establishment.

 

[flamatrix99]

I did not know this. Either way, I rather the wings at Hooter's...

JR1572

Me too!

 

[troy_mclure]

went to the one in hammond, shoddy service, and (tried to)charged us for crap they didnt bother to bring us. no anti gun sign tho.

Guys, before you write them off, check with the restaurant. Most of those are franchise owned. It may have been only the franchise policy and not system wide.

Leonidas is correct on this one.

Pretty sure the Lake Charles BWW has this sign on the door.

Nope, check again. We ate there this past Sunday, while carrying. I know the GM and he is a strong 2A supporter who loves to talk shooting and going to the range.

Buffalo Wild Wings as a company does NOT allow ANY legally licensed person other than the police to carry a handgun into the premesis of their restaurants. Period.

And just where did you get this information? BWW does not have a corporate policy on the matter and leaves it to the franchise owner to determine the policy for their locations. A few months ago when the picture Hitman posted was plastered all over facebook, I wrote an email to the contact information on BWW's website. I had a phone call within an hour from the local franchise owner. He asked if I had personally seen the sign on the door of our local BWW (Lake Charles). I said no, and that I assumed it was a corporate policy, as was stated online. He explained what I typed above. He went on to say that he is a CHP holder in the state of Texas and a 2A supporter. He also said that he would not put any restrictions on his customers that he would not put on himself. He said that all of his stores (I forget how many, but there were at least 12 in East Texas and South Louisiana) welcome legal carry and will not have signs posted against it.

JR1572

Yeah, Fook BWW I rather motor boat some Hooters!

 

[JR1572]

Hooters in Metairie sucks

No, it doesn't.

If you're old enough to remember the one on Decatur Street in the French Quarter, you would agree with me.

I obtained my information from my usual source, I made it up and pulled it straight out of my ass.

Well I certainly didn't have the pleasure of speaking to the CEO of the company, and I'm not doubting that you had to conversation you claim to have, however...

If BWW does NOT have a corporate policy about this, wouldn't it behoove them to at least come out and SAY SO? All they would have to do to deflect a **** ton of hate is to come out and say "Hey, don't be mad at us guys, we don't have a position, we leave it to the franchisee."

But no, they won't do so. Why? Because it IS their corporate policy.

Buffalo Wild Wings corporate headquarters issued a statement to KDKA-TV saying: *Buffalo Wild Wings respects the right of individuals to carry firearms. One of our top priorities is the comfort, safety and enjoyment of our Guests and we have elected to exercise our right to prohibit the carrying of firearms in our company-owned restaurants. We regret any inconvenience this may cause but believe that this long-standing position is in the best interest of our Guests and our Team Members. This position may vary in independently owned franchised locations.*

I can not speak for other franchises or corporate locations. Lake Charles, Beaumont, Port Arthur, Alexandria, Monroe, Houma, and Covinton are not included in this ban. I assure you until the law states otherwise we will not an are not participating in this ban. I am the General Manager of the Lake Charles location. Port Arthur and Beaumont are our Texas locations all the others are Louisiana locations.

Good for you, Ray. I'm sincerely glad to hear it. But when I know that the company that your franchise represents doesn't respect my rights, I won't spend a nickel there.

 

[troy_mclure]

as of 30 days or so ago the houma location had the no firearms sign up.

 

[Ray]

That is your right sir and I wish I could speak for them on national level but they did this at other locations long after my franchise bought in. We can not control the corporate policies no more than they can control our companies policies. I hope That not everyone will condemn all for some others views or policies. This effects us and we have zero control over corporate polices or other franchises policies.

Lemme tell ya'll a story about ketchup.

Heinz makes the absolute best ketchup in the USA, bar none. Del Monte? Please. Hunt's? GTFO.

I seriously f*cking LOVE Heinz ketchup.

But I will not buy it. Why? Because I don't want that piece of **** John Kerry (he served in Vietnam), to get get one more stinking penny from my pocket
than he already gets just for being a government flunky. So therefore I must draw a line in the sand and say NO! I will not buy your delicious ketchup, John Kerry.

Now does John Kerry have one thing to do with Heinz ketchup other than the fact he married the widow of its founder's son? Nope. But he has tainted Heinz ketchup
for me and it makes me sick when I think about it.

It's the same way with Buffalo Wild Wings; Some of the franchise owners may be fine upstanding people who support America, fly the flag and love guns. But the brand is tainted in my eyes and I won't patronize them.

 

[Ray]

I have was in Houma a month ago at our location there and unless the store manager at that time who is no longer there put it up on her own, there is no sign. I will check on it now.

 

[Ray]

Just got off the phone with the Houma location to verify and we have no sign up banning firearms at that location.
