Those are boycotts generated at the national level. Take 30 folks into that restuarant and ask for a table. Then storm out (sedately) when told to leave the guns in the car. Watch the managers
KA-CHING! Fade away. See the potential? I can tell you from experience: IT WORKS.
Had to rush out this morning for church, but I'm back and can elaborate until the thunderstorm rolls in.
Here in Miami a few years ago the local Denny's restaurants went on a "no CCW" binge and posted signs in area establishments. A few IDPA clubs have monthly meetings and then go out to dinner. Take 20 or 30 folks, ask for an area or a long table composed of smaller tables. See the manager's eyes light up (
KA-CHING!) then somebody would "notice" the "no concealed firearms even with a ccw" sign and we'd point out we're a gun club and just sigh and leave. Later that week, a different group from a different club does the same thing. That policy lasted about three months. The important thing is when they DO change, take the whole group and go eat there, more than once! Carrot and stick. Believe me, it DOES work.
