Bonefish Grill - Dayton Posted

[Roller]

Went to Bonefish Grill in Dayton (Dayton Mall area) and was surprised to see them posted. The funny thing is the sign said "weapons prohibited as authorized by T.C.A. 39-17-1359", which is the TN statute on posted premises. Letter sent.

I have long wondered if a sign referencing a different state's law would hold up in court. Not willing to pay an attorney to find out.

Hope you included a OFCC "will not patronize card" with letter.

Brian D; I don't think is matters. Ohio law doesn't specify the sign, verbiage, size etc. In my opinion, the sign says "weapons prohibited" and that is enough under Ohio law.

Did not include a "do not patronize" card but did clearly state that we would not patronize the restaurant again.

I used to see signs referencing the Ohio Revised Code in northern Kentucky. Fairly sure a good attorney could have gotten charges kicked to the curb.

The same legal tactic might work in Ohio, with a smart enough lawyer.

So if I patronize the place and I'm injured as a result of their no guns policy, does that mean I can sue them? (since they want to follow TN law instead of Ohio's)
