So I go over to eat lunch at a beef sandwich store and my wife notices a sign as we go in the front door, a picture of a gun with the X through it, I’m sure you’ve seen them. I have eaten inside this place, maybe 3-4 times in the past year. I usually get a brown bag in their drive thru and go home. Anyway I never noticed the sign before.
It was around 2:30 in the afternoon and we had been shopping and we were hungry and crabby, so I go in anyway, despite the sign, because I’m pack’n
After we finished eating, I went back up to the front and ask for the manager. She comes out and asks “what can I do for you sir?” I asked, “When did the store put the “No Firearms” sign up and is it company policy?”(This is a chain) She says, “It’s been up about a year and it is company policy.”
ME: “Well I won’t be able to eat here anymore”
MNGR: “Why Not?”
ME: “Because it’s not safe to eat inside here with that sign on the door”
MNGR: “What? We put the sign up because of the potential for robbery here!”
ME: “That’s my point, you’re telling the bad guys no one is armed in here come on in and take our money……and frankly, I don’t want to be sitting in here unarmed when that happens!”
MNGR: “Wow! That’s a really good point. I don’t think we ever thought about it like that.”(Her eyes were wide, wide open at this point) Would you talk to my boss and tell him exactly what you told me, if he would call you?”
ME: “Sure”
MNGR: “Can I have your name and phone number? I’m going to call him right now!”
ME: “Sure”
So I gave her my phone number and continued my little talk about our rights as law abiding citizens, that the constitution gives us the right to be armed and carry a weapon for self-defense. I left her with the fact that only the bad guys will have the guns in her store if she does not take that sign down. When I left, she was headed to the back to call her boss and had a somewhat concerned look on her face.
I don’t care if it’s an employee, the manager, or the owner. Every person I can get to think about the real danger, which is criminals with guns, will allow all of us to live in a safer America.
