Panera Bread Asks Law-Abiding Citizens to Leave Guns at Home

 

On September 8, Panera Bread bakery-cafes joined Chipotle, Jack in the Box, Chili's, Sonic, and Target in asking law-abiding customers to shop unarmed in its stores. 

The news originally broke on Twitter, where Everytown for Gun Safety tweeted Panera's request: "Please don't bring guns into our cafes."

According to the Huffington Post, Panera released the following statement:

  1. Ahh that's too bad, sandwiches taste like shit anyway and don't get me started on their soups... ex wife use to drag me to this liberal circle jerk because she liked the sammichs. I used to go armed with an open jacket back then... Thats all right, another place that won't get my hard earned money. Better to vote with your wallet anyway

  3. I took Spanish at NC State 62 years ago. The restaurant is two miles from my house and in 19 years we have not eaten there. Who eats at a restaurant named "bread box bread?"

    1. Bake again with garlic cloves inserted, they should be fine. If you have a Lowe's, they have good ones also, but as always, never enough garlic. :)

  9. I started carrying a boot knife and a pistol concealed. I carried my Glock 17 w/+2 plus one up the pipe. Had the knife on the other side. Nice balance! I went to the range and took a female friend with me - never shot the Glock. I brought my 629 Trail Boss, a six shot .38 and a Polish P-64. The female was only comfortable with the .38 - I had her shooting in single action for accuracy. She wasn't familiar with a double action trigger. I showed her 4 shots rapid fire at 21 feet - all were lethal. The 629 grouped 18 shots in an area half the size of a pie plate. Full magnum reloads. This may be off subject from this post but this is my new norm. These companies will either have to grow a pair or they won't get my business.

  11. DAMN! SONIC? Does that mean I can't have my pistol or rifle in my truck when I pull in to order a foot long cheese Coney with mustard and onions?

    that sucks. Guess I'll have to get my hotdogs elsewhere. CH

    1. A drive-in requesting this is the height of absurdity. I'm reading Southern Food by John Egerton which is wonderful and check it out anytime you're taking a trip. At any rate, there is a drive-in in Atlanta, The Varsity, that serves up to 17,000 customers a day, the largest in the world.

  12. I go to the Varsity about every time I go to Atlanta which is at once not a lot and too much, but the Varsity is the bright spot of the trip. CH
