Usual rules apply, details to follow in August with a sign-up poll. For those of you with severe cholesterol problems, this should allow you to schedule stent surgery before you chow down on this:

The rules are the following: Breakfast buffet is at 9:30, doors will be open earlier. Due to the fact that the bar has been burglarized twice in the last week (and by some high-tech ******** with a pneumatic door prying device, no less) the side door is closed for a while.
The cost of the buffet is $10 per person, small children exempted, and you have to buy your own bar drinks (their Bloody Mary is pretty good...) and coneys yourself. If you don't have the buffet, you just pick up your own tab and don't have to pay $10.
Right off the bat: This isn't no namby-pamby we don't have an attitude one way or the other joint!! Located at the intersection of East 7th Street and Wacouta, the EFFEN Gopher bar enthusiatically welcomes Minnesota CCW members. There's a TwinCitiesCarry bumper sticker right on the front door that was placed there by some Chanhassen homeboy who had gotten lost on the rough side of the TC metro, and oddly enough the Gophers on the Bar and the bumper sticker are a dead match. At times there have been signs saying things to the effect of "if you got a gun, bring it with you to the Gopher", and the NRA has showed up at one point to take photos of the place.
At the beginning George, the owner of the EFFEN Gopher, wasn't sure about CCW and had a sign saying "Give all your guns to Sheriff George at the door", (and the only one who ever did was a St.Paul cop!!) but he got a gun stuffed in his face one afternoon during a robbery sometime after that, and suddenly saw the light of day.
As such, you can walk in the door locked and loaded in full OC, and George will probably give you a thumbs up, and may buy you a drink. As far as the other rules of the bar are concerned:
No EFFEN french fries after 2 PM.
No EFFEN coffee EVER, so don't even EFFEN ask!!!
No EFFEN credit cards!!!
No EFFEN personal checks!!!
Even the EFFEN toilet can only take one ass**** at a time, so be nice to the bartender!!
The only thing they serve at the Gopher Bar are coneys, so don't ask for any other EFFEN food except fries, and that's only before 2PM!! It helps if you tell George how EFFEN good his coneys are after you ate them, and if you cap rip off an earth shattering belch to prove it, nobody will be offended. Tap beers are only $1.50, and this is one place where if the owner knows you have a permit, you will be given a huge load of **** if you AREN'T carrying. When I walk in the door, about all George says to me is "are you locked and loaded, Mother******?" Needless to say, the answer has always been the correct one.
