spaceman spiff Posted November 13, 2016 at 09:15 PM Share Posted November 13, 2016 at 09:15 PM I came across this article today while browsing the Patch: http://patch.com/illinois/deerfield/anti-gun-group-protest-opening-portillos-deerfield Lee Goodman, author of Too Many Rights and Too Many Guns, is organizing a demonstration against a new Portillo's set to open in Deerfield on Tuesday the 15th. The article goes on to say that the group will be demonstrating starting at 10:30am on the 15th and I'm just curious if anyone from Illinois Carry or ISRA will be there to support a pro-constitution business? I also haven't seen any email alerts from ISRA, although in fairness this article was only published yesterday. Unfortunately, I have class at CLC that morning and wouldn't be able to make it there until roughly noon. Although I would love to stop off to pick up lunch on my way home. Mr. Goodman's demonstration last year, outside of Northbrook Mariano's saw possibly 8-12 demonstrators, and Mariano's so far has refused to post.Interestingly enough, I learned that another Mariano's is under construction in Bannockburn at Waukegan and Halfday Rd. So I would expect Goodman to rally his troops to that location on opening day. Lee Goodman's book can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/069238751X/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=069238751X&linkCode=as2&tag=peacefcommun-20&linkId=TI6TPTXBQWSY6UHTReading the reviews are good for laughs, that's the only reason I posted this link.

Davey Posted November 13, 2016 at 09:20 PM Share Posted November 13, 2016 at 09:20 PM Why protest Portillo's? Because they won't post? And yes, his book is getting crushed on Amazon. I almost feel bad for him...almost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith44 Posted November 13, 2016 at 10:39 PM Share Posted November 13, 2016 at 10:39 PM Why protest Portillo's? The Portillo's south of Plainfield on Rt 59 has a vintage NRA sign on the wall next to the pick up counter. -Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Fife Posted November 13, 2016 at 11:49 PM Share Posted November 13, 2016 at 11:49 PM So he's trying to sell his book at Portillo's detriment. They should sue him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadyRunner Posted November 14, 2016 at 12:01 AM Share Posted November 14, 2016 at 12:01 AM Portillos in Chicago is posted. But they sell alcohol, so I assume that they are just complying with their liquor license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCroskey Posted November 14, 2016 at 02:06 AM Share Posted November 14, 2016 at 02:06 AM Are these idiots going to harass every new business that opens?

spaceman spiff Posted November 14, 2016 at 02:55 AM Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 at 02:55 AM Well then looks like I'll be swinging by around noon on Tuesday. I probably won't be carrying because I'll be coming straight from school where having guns, even lawfully carried guns in one's vehicle, is a no-no. Although, I have my doubts that their group will even be there all that long because it's gonna be a chilly day and they'll probably wanna catch the train to go down to Chicago to be with their own kind at an anti-Trump protest.I'll be wearing my Glock cap if anyone else is gonna be there.

soylentgreen Posted November 14, 2016 at 02:36 PM Share Posted November 14, 2016 at 02:36 PM I probably won't be carrying because I'll be coming straight from school where having guns, even lawfully carried guns in one's vehicle, is a no-no. Wait, what? Where did you hear that? If you have a CCL, you can lawfully have a gun in your car in the school parking lot or the parking lot of any other statutorily-prohibited site. The only places you can't legally have a gun in your car are federally-controlled property such as a post office, military installation, or nuclear facility. This is an important freedom that the ISRA fought hard to get. Definitely avail yourself of the opportunity. I work about 20 minutes from the Deerfield Portillo's. I will try to make it tomorrow for lunch. Should I wear a "Make America Great Again" hat...? Will they still be protesting at lunchtime? In all seriousness, how do I indicate that I oppose their POV other than by spending my money there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FieldGL Posted November 14, 2016 at 04:02 PM Share Posted November 14, 2016 at 04:02 PM I love Portillo's. But if they ever posted, I'd stop going there. During lunch, it gets so busy in there and I refuse to be a sitting duck if SHTF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xwing Posted November 15, 2016 at 12:18 AM Share Posted November 15, 2016 at 12:18 AM Hopefully there will be enough people for a counter-protest. The leftists always seem to protest while I'm at work. I imagine that's the point, is when they will have the least resistance and can pretend everyone agrees with them.
