Does anybody recall a serious restaurant crime committed in the presence of a lawfully armed citizen openly carrying?
While I can think of many instances of restaurant crime in NC, I have never heard of a instance where there was a openly carried firearm worn by a LAC. IMO, we are missing the boat and instead bickering among ourselves pointing this out to the business, and the public, that we indeed are good for their safety. And that MDA is wrong and putting them in danger, and they know it, but just don't care.
Please if you know of specific instances across the country let's compile them, and then compare them to the instances of restaurant serious crime with no open carry present. I think we can make a compelling case to the insurance companies of these businesses, and the stock holders.
I did a google search of IHOP robberies, and Starbucks robberies. IHOP is known to be gun friendly, and well you know the story on Starsucks. The IHOP returned 38,000 hits, the Starsucks returned 720,000 hits. I returned 107,000 hits on Waffle House robbery, not as dramatic but still over double of the gun friendly business.
Now I am not going to research that many hits, but I think it is compelling.
This is too ridiculous, I got 98,500 hits for Staples, not even a typical business for a armed robbery, but again a well known anti gun business.
