Subway Bans Open Carry of Firearms in Restaurants Nationwide

Subway announced Wednesday it is banning the open carry of firearms in restaurants across the nation.

WRAL reports the ban applies even in states where open carry is legal.

Guns.com notes Subway’s firearm policy now says the restaurant chain requests “guests (other than authorized law enforcement) refrain from openly displaying firearms inside restaurants — even in states where ‘open carry’ is permitted.”

On June 29, 2020, The Hill reported Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Chris Murphy (D-CT) were pressuring CEO John Chidsey to ban the open carry of firearms.

Blumenthal and Murphy said, “No person should have to fear gun violence while visiting or working in Subway restaurants.”

They alluded to record firearm sales as they made their case to Chidsey, “The public health challenges that we face, as a nation, due to this global pandemic are great, but neither excuse nor absolve us of our obligation to respond to the related and mounting public safety crisis—posed by the tremendous proliferation of firearms sales—in the making.”

Doesn't bother me in the least. If you feel like you absolutely MUST have a cold cut combo, which I cannot imagine, then just cover it up.

Why do they insist on mentioning this in the article? How would it ever apply in states where open carry is NOT legal or permitted?

LOL. Kinda like: Why do they put braille on the keys of drive-up ATM machines?

The only thing subway stands behind is meat in your buns.

Whatever, they went way downhill since the '90's anyway. There are better places to get a sub sandwich.

My list of places that I will spend my money at is getting smaller every day it seems.

Yep. Another restaurant chain off the goto list. Hardly ever went there. Personally never have open carried (I don't want bad guys to know I'm carrying). Contacted Subway and let them know they've made a business decision and I've made a business decision - bye-bye.
