-a Ch'an Buddhist axiom.
First, it's just a joke. Lighten up, Francis. Second, I've never been a fan of OC as a statement or of businesses taking a stance on political issues. So while I'm glad the owner isn't anti-gun, I'm not going to celebrate her either. I'm also done taking my digs and even withheld a couple comments at her expense so let's just let that be that.
The fact that this is such big news is actually proof that CO as a whole is lost - it’s an extreme exception to state norms that freaks out the residents.
I wonder how much training the staff has had in weapon retention.
My comments have not been approved by my employer and do not necessarily represent the views of my employer. These are my comments, not my employer's.
I asked her that via PM. She confirmed that the staff has retention training but didn't say to what level. I have to admit that even a basic class is more than most gun owners have.
All of her interviews tell the same story. She started the restaurant with no connection to carry. Someone was beaten to death in the alley behind the restaurant and it scared her so she started carrying.
Some time later several of the wait staff approached her and asked if they could carry. She requires them to pass a concealed carry course (NRA basic handgun safety?) before allowing them to carry at work.
Now that it's become a "thing" she offers concealed carry classes and dinner once a month. Supposedly they're always packed.
I think people come for the skin tight short shorts as much as for the guns or the (reportedly mediocre) food
