Would you eat at a restaurant where the workers are armed?

No, no they don’t. Just need them to fire first, remove threat. Problem solved

I never eat where I'm expected to tip, let alone where they'll kill me if I don't

 

Greasy hands do not make for a firm grip but you play those fantasies how ever you like...Just like the 9 cops that thought they could kick my ass when I kicked them out of the cabin they rented and was too drunk, and I did it unarmed and have been playing bouncer since the mid-1980's(unarmed)...

 

Just leave them some cleaning pads for their ram-rod...

 

Ah. Liberal elitism is indeed live and well.

 

I wouldn't mind. Or course there is always the chance someone will take a gun from an employee so its definitely more dangerous.

 

The employees are well trained to prevent that.
When I get back to Colorado, I would also love to eat at that restaurant.

 

Don't you think its odd these employees need to be well trained with gun? This is why armed restaurants don't work.

 

I pass through Rifle, Colorado about once a year. I’m always in a big hurry. But one time I stopped at Shooters just to see what it was like.

I had a burrito platter of some kind. It was good and I wasn’t hungry when it was gone. The price was fair. The service was just good normal service.

The “gun component” was not what I expected. It was very low key. I’m around guns all day every day so I felt completely comfortable, but I expected the gun theme to be a little contrived and hyped. It wasn’t. I spent a little extra time just observing the reactions of other diners. It looked like maybe a 50/50 split of local regulars and tourists based on attire, vehicles parked outside, and ordering mannerisms. Nobody appeared to treat the armed staff any differently than staff in any other place I’ve eaten. It was all just a normal small restaurant experience.

 

All depends on where you live. Here when the deputy stops you at 2:00 am and sees the suppressed AR-15 on the seat as you hand him your license, registration and CC permit he asks if you like how it’s set up and if it’s a good suppressor. When you tell him you do have a concealed weapon in the vehicle as the law requires he may want to small talk about that gun as well. The senior officer state troopers teach concealed carry classes required to get a CC permit on the weekends. Guns are normal here.

 

I have no idea where you live, so can't agree or disagree with your statement that a cop would just let someone go on their way with an ar-15 in their front seat like it was normal and they were not on their way to a mass shooting event

why would he ask for a CC permit if the gun is not concealed?

 

Liberal thinking is scary projecting what liberals would do.

 

What do you find scary here?
Do you think people SHOULD be killed for not tipping or what?

 

You evidently think that is an actual thing.

 

I wonder why the restaurant thinks it's necessary to arm the staff. I have seen old Westerns where people with loaded shotguns watched the clientele (The White Buffalo, great movie) but I wouldn't eat there either

 

Ah, you get your reality from movies. That explains a lot.

 

I live in rural NE. I’m not sure your agreement or disagreement affects the behavior of law enforcement officers in any location though unless you are a Sheriff or Chief of Police or something.

My comments are based on an actual experience of mine a few years ago.

The officer doesn’t ask. It’s state law in my state that if you are carrying concealed on body or have concealed weapons in the vehicle you must notify any law enforcement officer you are dealing with in his/her official capacity of the fact you are carrying/have a concealed firearm. Having visible unconcealed firearms as well does not negate the fact you must notify of the concealed weapon.

 

Info on duty to inform:


There are 12 states, plus the District of Columbia, that require individuals to inform law enforcement upon contact (without being asked). These states are:

• Alaska
• Arkansas
• District of Columbia
• Hawaii
• Lousiana
• Maine
• Michigan
• Nebraska
• North Carolina
• Ohio
• South Carolina
• Texas

Fourteen states require individuals to individuals to inform law enforcement of a concealed firearm if asked. These states are:

• Arizona
• Florida
• Illinois
• Kentucky
• Minnesota
• Missouri
• New York
• Oklahoma
• Oregon
• Pennsylvania
• Tennessee
• Virginia
• Washington
• Wisconsin

 

I think all States have some cops that are not as brave as others and will freak when they see some with a gun

the reality is, "perceived threats" are not always real threats

"Nebraska relatively more cautious about guns than other red states, expert says"

Yes, eastern Nebraska is where we corral most of the criminals, gangsters, those with firearm phobias, and other assorted nuts. They outvote the rest of the state at times, but our unicameral less partisan form of government helps keep things livable for everyone.

We would have constitutional carry if not for 3 counties out of 93 total.

I’m not crazy about some of our laws, but we have LE out here that support the constitution regardless of what the nuts in Lincoln and Omaha do.

I’d add that gun owners in Nebraska are more cautious about disclosing information than say some southern red states. There isn’t a redneck culture (I’m not criticizing that culture, everyone has a right to express themselves as they see fit) here where gun owners advertise the fact or even answer polls about ownership in the affirmative. Here guns are just tools most everyone has and uses without a lot of drama. Unless of course you are a gangster in Omaha...they are a little different.

 

Happened to me, twice.
Three times, if you count the 2 M-14s in the gun rack across the back window of the pick-up.

Why do you assume your experience is the norm?

 

Can you provide an example of anyone suggesting people should be shot for not tipping?

 

Im thinking he watches to much cnn.
