I remember her. she owned Shooters Grill, a restaurant in Rifle, Colorado, where staff members were encouraged to carry firearms openly.
Boebert has said that her family depended on
welfare when she was growing up.
Boebert says she obtained a
concealed carry permit after a man was "beaten to death by another man's hands ... outside of [her] restaurant", and began encouraging the restaurant's servers to
carry guns openly. Her statement about the man is mostly false. In 2013, a man who had reportedly engaged in a fight blocks away ran to within about a block of Boebert's restaurant, fell, and died from a
methamphetamine overdose.
In 2017, 80 people who attended a
Garfield County fair contracted food poisoning after eating pork
sliders from a temporary location set up by Shooters Grill
