Though I’m not a big fan of guns, I like this guy’s initiative. I would definitely feel safer in a place where people bear arms openly. I’m sure a criminal would think ten times before choosing to rob this place.
My only concern would be what if the customers start a shooting accidentally? And yours?
How many of those were criminals or in acts of crime at the time they were shot and therefore shouldn't count in your total?Our country has gun problem, and that's true. 212,994 more Americans lost their lives from firearms in the last 45 years than in all wars involving the US. Shouldn't we do something with that?
