I have very negative thoughts about such as this. To me it is not much different than the City of Ft. Worth skating around the law by requiring wristbands.

Big difference between a city government trying to impose restrictions against legal carry and skating a private entities policies on a virtual website. Not to mention that it was obviously a joke.

The problem is, the mental midgets on the facebook page where I saw that are the type to try some such tactic.
While the government skating the law is bad, it does not make such tactics any more honorable.
