In a response to recent legislations passed by states allowing concealed and/or open carry of firearms, the Chipotle Mexican food chain has changed its policy on the possession of firearms in its restaurants. They have politely asked their customer not to bring guns, most importantly high-powered rifles, in the restaurants, which basically meant don't bring guns into Chipotle. This statement was issued because some customers were feeling uncomfortable in the presence of large guns while enjoying their delicious burritos. This is a sticky situation because if Chipotle bans firearms in their restaurants, they could lose a large customer base, and the same could happen if they openly allowed firearms in their establishments. As of right now, gun control activists are praising the statement as a "bold and meaningful" decision.
