When you call your favorite restaurants to make reservations for your family, please check if they are posted. If they are, please cancel the reservation for your party and let them know you regret that you and your family will no longer be able to patronize them. Politely thank them for their years of service.

If given the excuse that it is a liability problem, note that they have been misinformed because:

• The law only applies to CCW permit holders who have voluntarily passed background checks and taken legal training to comply with the law.

• Many CCW permit holders are retired police officers

• The permit holders have agreed not to drink alcohol on the premises.

• The weapon MUST be concealed.

• The same law, sometimes with fewer constraints, has been in effect in 40 other states without problems (with no drinking prohibition in many cases).

• Numerous national chains have chosen to allow lawful carry by permit holders and certainly would not have if it truly was a "liability" problem.

Remember that establishments that post may not automatically be anti-gun, they may just have a regularly disruptive and rowdy clientele that causes problems. You don't need the problems, and there are many fine restaurants with a higher opinion of you that deserve your business. We have also found an amazing degree of misinformation and many restaurants and bars made their decision with incomplete or incorrect facts. We must try to dispel this ignorance and help them make their choice from an educated, factual position.

Stop and Think

When one of the managers of a place says "just leave it in the car," imagine your insurance rates going up due to constant window breakage from criminals searching for unattended weapons they now assume will be in cars at restaurants or bars that prohibit CCW. While these restaurants might as well put up "Unarmed Victim Zone" signs on the front door, they should also add "Unattended Weapon Storage" to the parking lot. Will that owner reimburse you for the loss or damage to your vehicle? That could be your car broken into whether you own a firearm or not.

If these owners with an agenda really have their way you permit holders will be bullied into leaving your only protection at home and now be disarmed for your entire trip, not just in the restaurant.

Even if you are anti-gun, don't get the idea that an establishment is safer because of a "no weapons" policy. The establishment may have what the management considers a "problem" clientele and is naive enough to think that a sign will prevent a criminal from having a weapon. The management may not be anti-gun, but may not have educated themselves enough to understand that CCW permit holders do not break laws, don't cause problems and will NOT drink as long as the law requires it. Note that many of the 40 other states that allow CCW in bars and restaurants actually allow drinking, yet they still have had no problems.

So please, even if you are unarmed, don't patronize an anti-gun bar or restaurant. Those people often believe they can help disarm the law-abiding public by not allowing the carrying of weapons anywhere, therby undermining our rights (even if you choose not to exercise them, they are still your rights too!).

Arizona State Rifle and Pistol Association and CCW Friendly Places

We all share info, but please cross-check their helpful websites for possible additional updates.


John of CCW Friendly Places has created a great flyer you may print and pass along to help educate restaurant and bar owners about the actual facts of the CCW laws. It asks them to thoughtfully reconsider posting. Thanks to John's efforts we have already seen managers who changed their position and have removed postings. Click here or on the thumbnail at the right for the PDF document.


*WE NEED YOUR HELP! If you find any of these entries in error please let us know so we can correct them. If you can, please help us to double-check these with the establishment's management to we can confirm each entry's accuracy - and let them know we are actually out here supporting them.

As these lists have grown longer we have all found it difficult to navigate. While they have been chronologically added so users could tell which have been updated, it has become clumsy. We will be re-ordering them soon to be easier and more helpful. Thanks for your patience. -- Wilderness

"Sheldon and Nina, owners of both Phoenix City Grille and Sierra Bonita Grill, have shown great support for our rights of self defense after learning more about our position over the years. Both restaurants also have truly great food, casual but classy atmosphere, and great service. They are in a central Phoenix location, which is very convenient. We consider them friends and recommend their establishments highly as the official eateries of The Wilderness." – Wilderness president Ralph L. Holzhaus II

Valle Luna Mexican Food & Cantinas
Janie Riddle, co-owner of the local chain Valle Luna, decided not to post any signs banning firearms, saying that it would be "business as usual" at the family's three Mexican restaurants."We've never had a problem in 26-plus years," said Riddle, whose husband, grown children and various relatives also work at Valle Luna."We basically talked about it as a family and as a business and just decided it was in the best interest to not prohibit law-abiding citizens from exercising their rights under the Second Amendment."


Eat At Joe's BBQ
"Hello, I am the owner of Eat at Joe's Barbecue in Wikieup, AZ. I am a CCW permit holder, and I invite all CCWers to carry in my establishment. Anyone who is carrying and has a permit, I will give a 10% discount toward their meal."

Silver Spur Saloon at Frontiertown
6245 E. Cave Creek Rd., Cave Creek, AZ 85331
(480) 488-3317
Marc Peagler, owner of the Silver Spur Saloon Restaurant in Cave Creek outside Phoenix, said he will allow people with concealed weapons permits to carry in his business, and Silver Spur will be safer because of it. "It's a deterrent," he said. "In the criminal element, there is some logic that says when people look at a place that they might want to rob, the ones that have big signs up that say 'We do not permit firearms' would be the first target. They know there's not going to be anybody in there that can stop them."

Peoria, Arizona 85382 (ARROWHEAD)
NOTE: As all of the valley FDs are owned by the same company, we would assume this is a universally friendly CCW restaurant. This is good news as FDs is a favorite of the Civilian Marksmanship Program and their daily BBQ’s after the matches in October. We would hate to see CMP change but we are fairly sure they would if they found out FD is not 2nd Amendment friendly. Their BBQ is so good after a long day on the points. – ASRPA

Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill
Mesa
"I wrote to them using their contact page and never received a response. There is a sign on the front door, easy to see. Not one on the back door, it is on a wall after you enter and not very noticeable."
This one really took us off guard since Toby Keith has performed at the NRA Annual Meeting and gives the appearance of supporting gun rights. We hope that this is just a lapse in judgement and oversight making it look like Toby Keith is anti-gun. We need Toby, or the employees who answer to him, to step up and show his fans and customers this is not the blatant hypocrisy it might appear to be. We would like nothing better than to be proven wrong. -- Wilderness

"I just talked to a manager there…she informed me that indeed, they are a NO CCW place."

R.T. O'Sullivan's Sports Grill Mesa (probably all due to corporate decision)
"Apparently, they have 3 locations, but the one I visited was the Mesa one. I spoke to the manager, initially to thank him for not posting…he tells me they are indeed posting by the Liquor License inside. As I didn't go to the bar, I did not see it. They are not posted at any entrance, either main entrance or patio entrance. Talk about trying to turn honest citizens into criminals."

"Hiding" the sign is proving to be pretty common. This is not only disingenuous, but also unethical as they are knowingly drawing us into breaking the law for their financial benefit while apparently being too cowardly to respect our beliefs or back up their own anti-gun beliefs. We try to focus on supporting those who support us, but this sort of deceptive trick really rubs us the wrong way and we will make every effort to expose it. We suggest managers and owners have the courage to make a decision and stand behind it - whatever it is. -- Wilderness

"I hiked the Grand Canyon last weekend. The "No Firearms' sign is gone from the park entrance!  However, Bright Angel Lodge, the place tourists arrive and where you go to book tours, is posted No Firearms at the entrance and the bar is plastered everywhere with AZ spec signs banning firearms." -- George

Gallagher's
Phoenix

"Gallagher's on east Baseline has long been a watering hole for shooters after matches at the Phoenix Rod & Gun Club Range at South Mountain. Unfortunately this means I will no longer patronize them and will discourage all other shooters from supporting this restrictive establishment too. Sad to see that the years of good behaviour and thousands of dollars in business meant so little to their management."
