Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal said Panera is doing the right thing:
Another company does the right thing: @PaneraBread asks customers to leave guns at home. RT to thank them. http://t.co/GWPRss105a

Would an armed lunatic intent on harming others be swayed by the polite request of a company CEO? Probably not, but if it makes everybody feel safer…

@SenBlumenthal @panerabread @KatieLittle Every business has the right to make that decision. You should stay out of it!

@SenBlumenthal @panerabread @KatieLittle actually it's the wrong thing and people still will because we live in a free society
