Good job by Chipotle Mexican Grill for supporting LGBT equality by putting their money where their mouth is.

And, yummy!

After gun rights advocates brought military-style assault rifles into one of their stores in Texas, food chain Chipotle, who has been romancing the literati of late, has politely requested that its customers don't bring guns into their stores.

The request, which is not being described as an out-and-out ban, came in a statement from the Denver-based company this afternoon.

"Recently participants from an 'open carry' demonstration in Texas brought guns (including military-style assault rifles) into one of our restaurants, causing many of our customers anxiety and discomfort," a statement from Chipotle reads. "Because of this we are respectfully asking that customers not bring guns into our restaurants, unless they are authorized law enforcement personnel."

The burrito-brick maker says it generally defers to local laws on most issues, but after a petition by Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, the chain is growing more forceful on the issue.

has banned guns from their stores.

I thought I was impressed as I could be when they fixed 'Porkgate.'

the 'open carry everywhere all the time, any weapon' folks really are doing a bang-up job of getting their hobby banned.

But I am quite certain nobody carried an assault rifle into a Chipotle Mexican (Mexican?) Grill.

They love to harass normal people so that they can get free press to promote their fetish.

They cost thousands of dollars and require extensive background checks and licensing.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Kicking from work~

Good on Chipotle!
