2. ‘Gimme all your discount’
Restaurant patrons were shot this week at restaurants in Dallas; Atlanta; Palm Beach, Fla.; Washington, D.C.; Marina del Rey, Calif.; Ashland, Ohio; Indianapolis, Jensen Beach, Fla.; Ankeny, Iowa; Jennings, Mo.; Brooklyn, N.Y. and Baltimore, Md., to cite just the instances that drew attention outside of their immediate areas. Yet if you came packing heat to the Papa Roux restaurant in Indianapolis, you were given more than an escort to the door.
Patrons licensed to carry firearms are being treated to a 25 percent discount after the restaurant was robbed Saturday night by a man who said he was armed but never showed the gun. Proprietor Art Bouvier says he just wants to even the score a bit. He told the local newspaper, “I don’t want Papa Roux to turn into the O.K. Corral, but I don’t want to be an easy target.”
Patrons need only show their carry permits, not their guns.
