(3,777 posts)is to estimate your bill and either put the cash on the table (under a plate if you are worried about someone taking it) or leave and immediately call the restaurant and say, "I left your restaurant because I didn't feel safe with people carrying guns in the restaurant. I am calling to pay my bill. I will not be coming back to your restaurant until you post a sign saying you don't allow guns" I doubt under this circumstance you could be charged with anything. I actually think the latter is better because it tells the restaurant owner how you feel. If enough people do this the owner will get the message.
Not paying is theft. Also, sometimes the server has to pay for a walked check (that may not be legal but it happens and sometimes the server doesn't know it is illegal). It's not the server's fault. It's bad enough not getting a tip, but also having to pay for a walked ticket is even worse.
