Chili’s, Sonic enforce no-guns policy
Two more national restaurant chains are saying no to guns.
Sonic and Chilis announced Friday afternoon that customers will no longer be able to bring firearms into the restaurants. The two chains reviewed their policies on guns after franchise owners in San Antonio asked a group of gun rights activists with assault rifles to leave the premises.
We recognize that the open carry of firearms in restaurants creates an uncomfortable atmosphere and is not permitted under many local liquor laws, Ashley Johnson, a Chilis spokeswoman, said in a statement. So, we kindly ask that guests refrain from openly carrying firearms into our restaurants and we will continue to follow state and local laws on this issue.
A spokesperson for Sonic acknowledged that the carefully reconsidered firearms policy was predicated upon recent incidents earlier this month. He also confirmed that franchises will prohibit guns on all properties, but that they will refer to local laws if they see guns inside cars at drive-ins.
