Who was it that went to the "college carry" event a few years back with a huge poster with "school" spelled like this???]Please skool us...
I was a doorman/bouncer/bartender for several years. If you're asked to leave a bar, just leave. It never works out for the person asked to leave. Right or wrong, I've seen things escalate beyond what either side would have ever wanted. The heat of moment can make things happen that can't be taken back and can cost dearly. Keep your head, manage your anger, and call/write/visit the manager/owner to explain your problem the next day. I've seen people that would have killed me and my co-workers if they could because we kicked them out 10 minutes before close, and on the other side, I've seen patrons kicked out unfairly for nothing... regardless of right or wrong it's always best to move on.
-----------Please don't do this. Writing management or ownership a polite, courteous, letter or, if you cool down first, doing the same thing by phone, is far better and paints a much better picture of gun owners in general. When you go out and disarm, then return and go off on the guy, you just confirm that you're an emotional, angry person that many would say, "doesn't need to have a gun". This image is worsened when you post negatives everywhere (especially if you post the real reason for your displeasure), and then looking for vindictive retaliation and revenge only seals that image permanently in the minds of anyone who might be "on the fence" as to the mental stability of gun owners.
Now... I didn't say not to be angry. I didn't say not to express yourself. I just said to do it with the very dignity that you feel has been insulted by their actions. A little checking online or an anonymous, civil phone call (maybe made by a neutral, third party) will get you the owner's name.
Address the letter to that person at the business address. Add the words, "Personal and confidential" to the outside of the envelope.
I think you'll find that this goes much, much farther than angrily getting in a bartender's face or attempting to (possibly illegally) sabotage the business. Obviously, you'll need to modify it as appropriate, should you ever be the one in this situation. Anger is rarely our friend.
Good luck.

O.K., so that's 20 pushups for BoR. BoR you have to shout "objective case" and "reflexive pronoun" while doing your press ups.
WTF??? You should have gotten all up in his face drill instructor style for calling you out...
Bill writes the best letters.. Bill, are you sure you're not a lawyer?
if some random employee were to yell at me...I'd be pretty PO..........i'd take my gun out to my car, and come right back in and get in his face drill instructor style....then write the owners about their employees, post every possible negative review anywhere that I could, and look for any other possible means to F**k with them and their business......
No you wouldn't...
Besides, that's nothing compared to what I'd do. I'd tactical roll back into the bar and backslap the bartender for having the audacity to speak to me. When those nancy boy bouncers came up to me I'd start handing out roundhouse kicks to the temple like candy on Halloween. If anybody else so much as made a comment in my general direction I'd track down their mothers and tell them what an awful child they raised, and then do a burnout in their flower bed. NOBODY talks back to me...
Forgot your purple.
.... I'd track down their mothers and tell them what an awful child they raised,...
I would have asserted my rights and my freedom by stripping naked, squirting ketchup (or whatever sauce was readily available on the tables) all over myself, and lying still on the floor humming "Wake me up before you go go" until they carried me out. Maybe a little William Wallace rhetoric thrown in for good measure.
Kirk, with all due respect... Bite my toenail.
Let me check....
Yep. I'm sure.
I'd track down their mothers and tell them what an awful child they raised, and then do a burnout in their flower bed.
I see you have attended a bond revocation hearing in Tippecanoe County.
I wouldn't even go through the trouble of writing a letter. Bartenders are the most trusted employees in a bars. Bartenders regularly yell, scream, and have patrons tossed out for a variety of reasons... OCing in a bar, c'mon seriously? You think a letter will change anything? Heck the bartender might get an extra perk of two for throwing out the guy.
I'll be honest, this is one of those times that "out of sight out of mind" comes into play. There's no way in hell I would frequent a dedicated bar where people OC. I'd rather not know. Alcohol/Guns, no bueno.
Kutnupe, I am in no way intending an insult here. This attitude reminds me of
I don't disagree with what I understand your point to be about alcohol & guns, however I do with the meaning as stated. I could put my pistol on a shelf in a bar and alone, it would cause no harm. I don't drink, but for someone who does and is in control of himself, the mixture of the two would also be no problem. The problem arises when the person with the gun is not in control of himself, and by and large, those of us who hold LTCHs are the former type, not the latter. Given that a person OCing is not very likely to be doing so unlawfully, if I had to choose one or the other, I'd choose the OCer over the CCer. If I don't have to make that artificial choice, I'd just prefer everyone who does not have ill intent be carrying... or at the very least, not be prohibited by some arbitrary rule or law preventing it, because let's be honest... the only thing keeping those with ill intent from carrying is their personal choice or whim, and I'm not willing to trust my life to something that nebulous or fickle.
Blessings,
Bill
