I asked if that included those who conceal and he said they want no guns, period. They would rather we take our money elsewhere than carry a gun, concealed or open, into their restaurants. I thanked the man for his honesty and told him I would pass on their wishes. I will have a word with the manager up here. I never get bothered when my whole group open carries on Sunday nights. Of course, we're in uniform, but what's the difference? |

I sent one too. I'll have to chat with my local restaurant's manager. I avoided Perkins for years because of poor quality. But a year ago, I found my local one is very well run and I've been going there frequently enough that it'd be a shame to have to take my business elsewhere...that is if the regional manager's words truly reflect their position. |

I got a response via email a bit earlier today asking for more information on the location of the restaurant - I gave them the best approximation I had from the original post -- also asked that they clarify for me their corporate policy around this issue. Will post their response when I receive it. b |

I got in on the fun as well - Here is what I sent Quote: I am writing in the hope you can clear up something I recently heard, I was told that Perkins has a corporate policy of banning firearms carried by licensed law abiding patrons of your establishments. Is this true? I am a Realtor and often use Perkins all over the Twin Cities as an easy place to have lunch meetings and would say I do so 3-4 times a month. I am also licensed to carry a pistol by the state of MN and do so on a daily basis for my personal protection. I would truly appreciate clarification on this issue so I could avoid any issues in the future. Sincerely, {NAME AND PHONE #} I agree I like the food and do find it is a very easy place to meet people but would not hesitate to stop if they don't want me! |

They're getting jumpy. Heard from some folks on THR via PM that they got responses. Hey, I told them I was going to post it on multiple forums to make sure that their wishes were respected. -Mark |
