It appears the barrel of crackers doesn't like the 2A, at least not in Georgia.
But they don't want to put up gunbuster signs, for that might discourage gun owners from spending money there.
So, if they see your carry piece, they'll tell you to take it out to your car. If you don't want to do that, they'll trespass you.

I've never had a problem in Okemos.

In Kalamazoo, MI there was several people shot in the parking lot of a Cracker Barrel. The shooter shot others as well in the Mattawan area. Guessing this is why a change of policy.

Yes, making a no-guns policy will stop a criminal from murdering someone in a Cracker Barrel. Makes perfect sense.
If it was that easy, they should just make it against the law to murder someone.

I don't think this January 2014 discussion thread involved a policy prompted by the 2016 Uber Shooter.

And, obviously, Danny has been in the Okemos store since 2014, probably with a full size pistol on his hip, and he claims not to have seen this policy in action.
Perhaps it varies by location, or by ownership of the individual restaurant, or, worse yet, by the color/appearance of the patron?

Apparently they must believe that the signs will stop a drive by shooting as well.

Holy icicles in heck, our old friend Bob Owens found out that a GA Cracker Barrel treated an OCer poorly and he's not happy about it.
I might have to put him back on my Christmas card list if he keeps this up.

I see the above original post was 2 days ago and the link is May 2016. The Uber driver shootings were 2016 prior to May. I can't say I agree or disagree but I had my pistol with me as we were stuck in Mattawan during the shootings.

Wasn't trying to bust your chops, Thomas.
And at the time you posted that, I didn't know the alleged Cracker Barrel ban was at least a 2 year old topic, I just found that 1911 Forum thread last night.
The one thing that seems to be consistent is that Cracker Barrels don't post gunbuster signs anywhere.
How they act when they see a gun seems to be quite variable.

Yes. It seems to vary with managers and individuals .... I haven't had a problem in the Grandville CB but I hear others have had trouble. Maybe they just haven't noticed me the few times I have been OC in there. I guess I'll have to up the ante and OC a pair of full size 1911's and see if they say anything.
