My local hospital/medical facility has a "gunbuster sign" whereas the other local hospital/medical facility has a valid 30.06 sign. My facility's sign of choice does not apply to me; however, if a nurse, doctor or a registration clerk saw my CW and told me my gun wasn't allowed, I'd di di mau to the parking lot and bleed to death...or something. :smilelol5:

Seriously, we're now back to the old CHL truism; i.e., "concealed is concealed". ITMT, the "gunbuster sign" doesn't apply to this CH licensee. :cool:

All you speak is true Oldgringo. I wouldn't let a gunbuster sign stop me from entering a business if I had need of their goods/services and there were no alternatives I'm saying if the welcome mat isn't out (gunbuster) why do business with someone who doesn't want you in their place of business.

BTW it's been beaucoup years since I heard or read di di mau! I was in country '67-'68 with the First Cavalry, you? :patriot:

Just curious. Were you up and around northern I Corps north of Hue? Our firebase (Camp Evans) was a 1st Cav base a few years prior to '69. it's the base that the ammo dump blew up during your time. We were 101st.

It might depend on whether I paid for my meal before hand.
If I had not paid, I would leave promptly without paying. If I had paid I would ask for my money back.
There would certainly be no tip involved. I would not speak harshly, or impolitely

No, I was a 24 year old full time student with a pregnant wife when my number came up as 1-A in 1966. I sometimes feel like I missed something by not being there. OTOH, I'm alive and have use of my faculties. :patriot:
