BOYCOTT!!!! ALL restaurants that serve alcohol....

It's time we start fighting fire with fire. This restaurant decision today wasn't about constitutionality. It was about money. If we want to preserve our rights and punish those than want to take them away from us, we need to take action.

You may be thinking "why punish the places that didn't post or weren't behind this?" In these economic times, restaurants are a lot emptier than they were a year ago. We need to hit them all in the cash drawer to get the restaurant owners that didn't really care a reason to pressure the hospitality association and the plaintiff restauranteurs to back off on this stupidity.

This legal action was all about them not wanting to lose any money by making the state the "bad guy" so they could keep their hands clean by not posting. Let's show them that this is a losing proposition for them and that we have the money they need to keep the doors open and are willing to deny it to them.

This is going to call for sacrifice, giving up going to favorite places. You'll probably take a lot of heat from your wives and friends. But it's the only language these guys understand. And it's going to take more than just one or two of us. A lot more.

BTW...you'll probably save some money too.

I gave up Hooters at the original passing of the bill and them posting. I can't carry at work so I generally had to hide what was going on in real life anyway. I say rather than boycott (I saw the big thread over on TGO) just find the ones that welcome us and reward them for their principles. I don't think you could be charged if 1. They never call in a complaint or 2. As the establishment the offense was committed against if they didn't press charges.
