Denver based Chipotle becomes the latest causality in the Mad Mommies Demanding Some Actions quest to take away your Constitutional rights. Chipotles stance has always been to comply with all local, state, and federal laws up to this point. But in a statement Monday, the company said that the display of firearms in our restaurants has now created an environment that is potentially intimidating or uncomfortable for many of our customers. In plain English, that means they got tired of dealing with Shannon Watts childish Twitter harassment.
Now the million dollar question is why did MDA target Chipotle? Simple. Their petition was in reaction to open-carry gun activists appearing at a Dallas-area Chipotle restaurant over the weekend.
So heres some food for thought. Can we please stop playing into their hands? Im a die hard advocate and supporter to all forms of carry. Constitutional, open, concealed, it doesnt matter. It is our god-given right! But, when we open carry, we shouldnt be dragging corporations into this. ESPECIALLY IF THEY ALREADY HAVE HAD A NEUTRAL STANCE! Is it our right to? Yes, absolutely! But its a calculated risk. Starbucks, Jack in the Box, and now Chipotle. Need I say more?
So now, when you go to Chipotle, if you go to Chipotle, you will become a victim. Fellow patriots, VOTE WITH YOUR WALLET! Stop supporting companies that make criminal lives easier. Chipotle has now told us all loud and clear, they dont give a DAMN about your safety! Why would we as American consumers support somebody that puts criminals rights ahead of our safety? The answer is simple. Dont go there.
