In reply to the discussion: Watch Amy Schumer Taunt America’s Obsession With Guns In SNL [View all]Eleanors38
(18,318 posts)112. There are several instances when punks & thugs ( never much for signs)
have attempted violent crime crimes at this business, and been dissuaded. You may have heard of the one in Ft. Myers where 3 drunk, shirtless blowholes came in caused a fight; at one point slugging a patron who DID NOT fight back, hoping things would cool down as the three left, but within seconds one of the thugs rushes back in as a cohort held the door open, and attacked THE SAME customer. The customer finally drew his legal concealed weapon and shot the attacker. He ran out, but died later. The killing was ruled self-defense under Florida law.
I think thugs and punks attack places like Waffle House because of the late night hours and (importantly) it has some some cash in an economy which is going cashless.

Cool. Because making gun owners targets of culture war has been working out so well!
