No Firearms Allowed at Boomarang Diners?

wgm2011 · Mar 15, 2016

After visiting the railroad museum in Pauls Valley this afternoon, a group of eight of us decided to lunch at the Boomarang Diner.

Posted on the front door was a no firearms sign. So we took our business elsewhere.

This was my first (and last) visit at this location. Though I don't eat there often, during my visits to their diners in Shawnee, Choctaw and Lone Grove I don't remember seeing this restriction.

Is this a new change at all Boomarang Diners?

I've not noticed that at the one here in Guthrie, OK. I'll have to pay attention next time I go.

I've never noticed a gun buster sign at the Stillwater or Cushing locations.

Did someone go in and tell them why you are going elsewhere?

I personally believe of owners don't know what they are missing out on it wont hit home so much.

I don't pay attention to those signs. I eat where I wanna eat, I watch a movie where I wanna watch a movie, I swing in 7-11 for an icee when I want it.
If it's concealed, they won't know the difference.

Pretty much my modus operandi.

Yep, couldn't agree more.

I'll deal with a misdemeanor trespass in Texas if it ever comes to it.

Btw, is all that is required in Oklahoma a gun busters sign?

Wall · Mar 17, 2016

Yes but it's a misdemeanor trespass if you refuse to leave when asked. No 30.06 or 07 like in Texas.

Gramps · Mar 17, 2016

Thanks Wall. Guess I shoulda learnt more when visiting family up there

But if you don't refuse to leave when asked, no charges right? That's how it is in Florida. They have a right to post the signs, and we have the right to ignore them. If they do see that you are carrying, all they can do is ask you to leave.

Correct, ask you to leave, You leave.

I'd ask if I could pay for my drink first, but that's just me.[emoji1]

Carry a gun, or leave the state.

I carry concealed so I just ignore those gun buster signs. Only places I don't carry are the places specifically mentioned in the SDA statute.

We don't have open carry in Florida, so concealed is your only option. Only exceptions are for when you are camping, hunting or fishing. Very few people carry while fishing unless they are going offshore. The only time I open carry is when I am hunting. Any other time it will be concealed.

No we didn't. But maybe we should have.

Back when they first passed concealed carry in Oklahoma, all the stores on Main Street in Ardmore decided it was their duty to ban concealed carry from their property. Several of us made it a point to step into their shops and indicate we were not carrying at that time, but that was the last time we would enter their store.

Within 6 months all the signs were gone.

That's the way it should happen. Congrats for doing that.
