Restaurant Sign Didn't Help

NC Restaurant Posts ?No Guns? Sign and Then Gets Robbed at Gunpoint

But, But, But. . . . . . . . . . .

We all know that all those robbers were illiterate and if they saw the sign they would have changed their minds and just went in to eat barbeque.

The irony is thick. Sadly the Antis will just use this to reinforce their idea that guns are bad

Saw it on Cam last night. Hilarious! Don't look for their policy to change though, he's a big lefty fundraiser. They can't have the "shoot out at the ok corral" in his store so don't look for the no guns sign to be taken down any time soon.

Prediction!: The policy will remain in place. The story will be used in fund raising as a testament to why guns are bad. The restaurant will eventually go out of business. Then the story will be guns stole my money, then stole my business - guns are bad!

Maybe they need a "No Crime Allowed" sign. I bet that would do it.

ABOVE.........or post a copy of the same sign at the rear door.

They need to be more specific in their signage.
It said "No Concealed Firearms" but all the bad guys were open carrying. They were all complying with that rule.

Guys, the sign is at the front and the article clearly stated that they entered through the back door.

Oh so they criminals didn't see the sign. Well that explains it.

clearly the idea of RIF gets lost many places ... both here (see headline, assumptions made) and by crooks
... but perhaps they thought it was a ROB-araunt since they came in from the back? ... ( - bad I know)

I love this thread so much.

Thankfully nobody was seriously hurt by this foolishness. You gotta wonder is the business owner is experiencing any sort of dissonance after this event.

 

[RockofStrength]

You laugh until you realize that for the owner this is probably the ideal robbery, because no weapons were actually fired. Yes, guns are so evil that even shooting in self-defense is worse than being robbed. There is no dissonance folks, the sign is intended to stop firefights not criminals.

Hadn't looked at it that way, but I bet you're right. You can't win really. If no one is hurt - "Thank God there wasn't some Cowboy there trying to defend us and getting people shot". If someone is hurt or killed - "My God, we must ban guns. They killed my employee and one customer - we must ban them before this gets any worse."

This here is an ARRESTUARANT ... go to jail. please. ... (should I appolige to said other Bill too?) LOLz.

Seriously doubt businesses believe signs will help stop criminals, but it will stop people from making their businesses a political war zone.

It is a matter of perception.

This is what you and I, the average law-abiding citizen sees:
