Well, half a dozen guys packing everything from a 6" barrel .357 mag to a little .380 autoloader had a nice little dinner at Apollo's.  I couldn't find my camera, but this was such a non event to barely justify mentioning. 

Lots of visible guns, no visible nerves from patrons or staff.  

First time I ever ate there, not sure I would go back just because I didn't see anything to set them apart from any other dining establishment.  I take that back, the spaghetti looked good, I want to go back and try that.

Pretty much your normal get together of people who share a common passion.

What would you say if you saw half a dozen people visibly packing heat in your favorite resteraunt?  Just curious...

Nice group of people,

and no one freaked out! Management was cool, patrons were cool, and all of us gun toters didn't go on a shooting spree and kill everyone in the restaurant. Or did we, nah....I'm sure that was just a dream.. :)

Food was ok, but a bit overpriced for the size of servings.

I wouldn't like it at my favorite place.

I'd rather you left your tool belt in the car.

I'd Just Think

a bunch of LEO's were having lunch or dinner!  I wouldn't be nervous!  In fact, I'd probably feel safer!

It doesn't make me nervous at all

Open carrying at a restauant is like eating with your hat on, which, depending on the setting, is rude. If I was chewing on a sloppy pulled pork sandwich at Billy-Bobs AAA BBQ, I wouldn't give open carriers a second thought. And as I've never been frightened while dining, I can't appreciate the marginal benifits of dining with armed people.

Ask a Texan sometime

How their current carry laws came into play. 

OC is illegal in Texas, and it used to be illegal to carry even a concealed weapon most places.  You had to keep it in your car. 

A woman who was an elected official got to watch a horrible shooting unfold in front of her while dining and she couldnt' stop it.  Her gun was in her car.

I'm not sure I would be

I'm not sure I would be comfortable dining with S6 and his gun in tow, especially if he was all hopped up on tiramisu.

Hah!

I think I've maybe had tiramisu once, and I never, ever consume alcohol while carrying.
