Assuming the restaurant carry bill goes through, I anticipate a lot of new signs on doors that were not there before.

The newspapers are already starting to print quotes from restaurant owners to that effect. I dislike the stand-by statement, "if I see a posted sign, I go elsewhere". This worked in most cases but the new legislation has the potential to effect a lot more of our favorite eateries and add a new level of inconvenience.

I plan to have logical discussion with any owner / manager of a restaurant that posts a no firearms sign. It will be civilized and respectful and I will attempt to convince him or her of the negativity of the sign. I know it will be an uphill fight but one that I feel must be taken on.

If I get absolutely nowhere, I will explain that the establishment's name will be posted on all the firearm discussions I am a member of in the "Second Amendment Offenders" section and request their position be reviewed once the initial fear of the new law wears off and they see that there is no problems in other establishments that haven't posted.

I believe that having a polite discussion with managers/owners will have a positive effect on restaurants especially now with sales in the toilets. They will do what ever they can to increase sales and if you have several people contacting them stating they won't eat in their restaurants, they will change their stance very quickly.

Well unless they are posted IAW with TCA I am pretty much going to ignore it. If they are however poted IAW I will be more than happy to send them an email explaining my stance and that I would appreciate them reconsidering thier prohibition.
