Ammophobia rampant at Austin restaurants

It looks like Austin 360 did the work for those searching for which restaurants to boycott over the Open Carry issue.

Open Carry became law a handful of days ago, and so far there haven't been any Wild West shootouts. However, many saloon-keepers have started closing their doors to open-carriers in irrational fear of one. Here's the list:

"Alamo Drafthouse
Counter Culture
Franklin Barbecue
Fore Restaurant (Lakeway)
Foreign & Domestic
Freebirds World Burrito
Galaxy Café
Hopdoddy
Jack Allen’s Kitchen
JuiceLand
Kerbey Lane Café
Lenoir
Matt’s El Rancho
Quack’s Bakery
P. Terry’s
Serranos
Taco Deli
Texas French Bread
Thundercloud Subs
Torchy’s Tacos
Top Notch
Trio at the Four Seasons
Uchi Restaurant Group
Zocalo 

"... People are already prohibited from bringing guns of any kind into bars (any establishment with a 51% sign, meaning 51 percent or more of sales must be alcohol). 

"... GunFreeBusiness.com reports that the following regional and national restaurants are also opting out of open carry [ed: or have already for many years, as in the case of Whataburger]: Buffalo Wild Wings, California Pizza Kitchen, Chili’s Grill & Bar, Chipotle, Chuck E. Cheese, Chuy’s, Flix Brewhouse Movie Theatre, Fuzzy’s Taco Shop, Hooter’s, Jack In the Box/Qdoba Mexican Grill, Jason’s Deli, Luby’s, Monterey’s Little Mexico, Panera, Sonic Drive-In, Taco Cabana,TGI Fridays, Top Notch Burger, Tortuga Mexican Kitchen, Waffle House and Whataburger."

UPDATE: Michael Cargill, a local gun shop owner and host of the "Come and Talk It" radio show, spent an entire day open-carrying and encountered little issues. Watch the video on Fox 7.
