October 27, 201510 yr Packing at lunch? Restaurant robbery triggers discount for gun owners | Fox News There has been a string of robberies at Indianapolis restaurants. One owner decides to give discounts to those that have a valid conceal carry permit to make any futures robbers think twice.
October 27, 201510 yr Isn't part of the logic behind a conceal carry license that you don't have to broadcast to those in the room that you have a weapon on you, and therefore not making you an immediate target in the event that a "robber" does come in and try to shoot the place up?

October 27, 201510 yr Packing at lunch? Restaurant robbery triggers discount for gun owners | Fox News There has been a string of robberies at Indianapolis restaurants. One owner decides to give discounts to those that have a valid conceal carry permit to make any futures robbers think twice. So, did you get the discount?

Not the ideal place to rob.
October 27, 201510 yr The owner is sending a clear message that it's a pro gun zone. Not the ideal place to rob. Yeah I completely agree...but, and maybe this is just me, I've always been of the belief that the fewer people that know you are concealing a weapon the better. Maybe that doesn't apply in this situation.

October 27, 201510 yr Author So, did you get the discount? I will be in Indy before the end of the year and will eat there and will refuse the discount to thank the owner.
October 27, 201510 yr Going to ask a hypothetical: what if a robber attempts to rob and then a gun fight breaks out and Bystanders are injured both carrying and not. Will the store owner have any liability for welcoming the concealed and carry owners in? If I was a store owner I would check that before I started giving discounts.
October 28, 201510 yr Assuming the robberies have not had an insider on the restaurant staff...I would think that just this getting out will be enough of a deterrent for future robbers. THEY will be the ones not knowing if someone else is packing. You could go in and have no one carrying, or you could go in and have 25...you just won't know.
October 28, 201510 yr I will be in Indy before the end of the year and will eat there and will refuse the discount to thank the owner. That's because you're first class.

Why is it a problem to invite law abiding citizens into your store? If I was a by stander and a guy came into the store with a gun to rob it, I would be VERY GLAD if a guy with a concealed carry was in there too.

No it's his right to run his business how he wants. I'm actually see it the opposite way, business that ban guns and don't provide protection should be held liable for not allowing citizens to protect themselves.
October 28, 201510 yr Can I get the discount if I bring a water gun? You don't have to show the weapon itself. As long as you show them your concealed carry permit, yes. (& we all know you have one!)

As long as I know either way then I can make my decision whether to use the services or not. But I should be able to know. I would choose not to go there, but I could care less who did.
