Crown and Goose Pub - Knoxville - POSTED

[tkdmavrick]

Yesterday my wife and I went to the Crown anbd Goose Pub (an English styled "pub") to watch the England World Cup soccer game and found out that the place is posted ("no firearms allowed" sign along with the circle and slash). Had promised the wife that we would enjoy the game there, so left things in the car trunk, but of course will never revisit.

And I hope you let them know that and why you will not revisit. We all need to be sure that we not only discontinue our support for these businesses, but also that we politely let them know why. I also like to let them know that not only am I going to cease doing business with them but that I am also going to do what you did and let as many people as I can know about their position. Thanks for letting us know!

Well once I disarmed, I decided that I might as well enjoy the game (which was lousy) and enjoy some English ale on tap. I couldn't realistically go complain to the manager about their current "no firearms" policy, after drinking two beers (over 2 1/2 hours), because it would have been a situation of "see you HCP holders WIILL violate the law anyway - guns and alcohol don't mix". If the place was not posted, I would have drunk diet coke.

One thing anyone with a computer with internet access can do after such an incident is to write a letter (not an email but an actual letter). Thankfully, the post office has made that pretty easy.

I use Click2Mail often (). I compose letters in Word, convert them to PDF files (although that step isn't really necessary), upload it, pick the type of letter I want (they do everything from a basic latter to certified to Express, mail, etc) and then Click2Mail will actually print the letter (just as if it came off your own laser printer, put it in a real envelope and mail it. A basic letter will cost you a couple of bucks including the postage but it saves a LOT of time and hassle.

Now; it isn't a handwritten letter and it doesn't have quite the "look and feel" of a letter done by the more traditional method of typing/printing, putting a single stamp on it and mailing so perhaps, it's not a powerful of a statement as doing it the old fashioned way. BUT, I would suggest that it makes a much more powerful statement than an email without really being any more difficult than email (likely the hardest part is getting the mailing address!).
