Well, it pains me to share this with you. . .After some letters back and forth, I just left it with offering my service to them to let their customers know about their anti-gun/pro criminal policies.

To the facts. . .On Saturday, my daughter and I went to Fridays and we were about to go in, but I saw the sign on the door. It was small and off to the side, but I'm looking. So, we left. . .gun or not, I'm not entering a place where the business puts a sign on the door that says to me, there are no law abiding threats to you Mr. Criminal. Please come in and hurt our customers and employees as you see fit.

So, I emailed them through their form:

Since I no longer have that message, I'll paraphrase.

I said: My daughter and I were looking for somewhere to eat. We walked up to your door and saw your "no ccw" sign. I am discouraged by your company posting this sign which blocks law abiding ccw holders and encourages criminal activity.

I have spent literally $1000's at TGI Fridays, but I can no longer enter your stores. It is too dangerous to put my family in this situation when I can visit a competing store that respects me.

So, I'm keeping my word and sharing TGIFridays corporate wish to have no law abiding CCW holders patronizing their stores. So, please understand that we are not welcome. This apparently includes off duty police too, if you read their email.
