At Shooters Grill, waitresses carry guns for Jesus

[Tab]

The waitstaff at Shooters Grille is mostly female, all of whom are packing concealed weapons in leg holsters. (The state of Colorado allows registered gun owners to carry firearms into restaurants.) It’s to remind Americans of the romance of getting one’s head blown off the old-timey way.

The bulk of Rifle, Colorado’s community (population 9,000) apparently feels comfortable with the concept. “We think it’s just fine,” one customer said. “We carry guns ourselves and own a rifle, shotgun and handguns. We live in a very small town and we take care of our own crime problems.”
---
“Customers love that they can come here and express their rights,” Boebert explained. “People can come in carrying their gun, and they can pray over their food. “I consulted with my Christian friends and everyone said ‘Shooters’ sounded like a bar or a strip joint,” Boebert continued. “But … this is Rifle. It was founded around guns and the Old West. We called it Shooters and started throwing guns and Jesus all over the place.”

1. That's it, I cant take anymore

[tanyev]

2. What could possibly go wrong?????

[immoderate]

11. Somebody could steal her gun while she's holding those plates.

And that's just one possibility.

3. Gun retention. How hard would it be to disarm her and start shooting up the place?

That's why open carry is for idiots.

4. I so so so want a group of black or Latino men --

to open carry in that restaurant. Big, "scary" ones.

[Hoyt]

8. Really, everyone would be patting their gun to make sure it's there. I suspect one reason they

allow guns is that the owners and patrons are bigots, most gun fanciers are right wing haters.

5. tick... tick... tick... tick... tick... tick... tick... tick... tick... tick... tick... tick... tick

6. Hey, when we say, 'Don't forget to tip your waitress. we MEAN it!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

7. I need to move to Rifle Colorado so I can mount a .50 caliber M2 Browning machine gun on the hood of

my car. I'd do it for Jesus of course.

9. Is that what people mean by 'concealed weapon'? In a clearly visible holster?

[sarisataka]

16. I was kind of wondering myself

How that line matches the picture and description

[napkinz]

10. ...

[Aristus]

12. Jesus. Gun-humpers are such losers.

When I want to 'express my rights', I check a book out of the library.

[madinmaryland]

13. If you feel that you need to open carry a gun, then you are not stable enough to own

a gun and should be banned from owning a gun.

[dilby]

14. Have they had any shootings?

Unless they have this is just free advertising for them.

[Politicalboi]

15. Clinging to their guns and religion

Who said that??????? Who got yelled at for thinking such thoughts. Thanks Obama! World gone mad.

17. Speaking open-carry dangers, look at those triglyceride-causing servings.

I would avoid that place for multiple reasons.

[bluesbassman]

24. Off topic, but that's a beautiful Continental in your sig line!

Absolutely gorgeous cars!

[John1956PA]

27. I pulled the photo of the 1956 Continental from the web. I have never seen the car.

I do not know what it looks like up close. As you probably know, prices for these cars range from $15,000 (for one in good condition) to much higher figures for near-mint specimens. I do not have the ability, means or desire to maintain a vintage car. I am grateful for car enthusiasts who fight that battle so all of us have the chance to look at nicely preserved cars at shows and cruises.

18. Those look like handguns.

What are they doing in Rifle?

[shenmue]

19. "We take care of our own crime problems"

So, they just shoot people?

[bluesbassman]

21. Judge, jury, and executioners. Nice.

They used to call that lynching but I guess if you use a bullet instead of a gun it's just justifiable homicide now.

[El Supremo]

20. Menu items include:

"M16 burrito," "Smith & Wesson Grilled Cheese" and "Locked and Loaded Nachos."

My! How clever!

[Tab]

22. Hah

I didn't even think to check out the menu...

[Terra Alta]

23. The name of the town says it all

What more could be expected from a town called "Rifle"?

[joeybee12]

25. They carry guns FOR Jesus? Why? Are his hands full?

[johnp3907]

26. Yes.

Full of holes.

[joeybee12]

28. That's terrible!

And I can't stop laughing!!!

[johnp3907]

31. Yeah, it is pretty bad.

My brother posted it on facebook because he has a lot of right wing "friends," and I added fuel to the fire by commenting "Holey Christ!"

[spanone]

29. 'unless need arises'...well that's pretty damned interpretive....

[SammyWinstonJack]

30. !!!

[GeorgeGist]

32. I don't think concealed means ...

what you think it means.

[Spirochete]

33. I'll bet they get better tips

and a lot less complaints...
Hopefully, a LOT fewer customers as well.
How does someone afford a gun on a waitress income in the first place?

[Tab]

35. Just thinkin'

H0w do we know they're loaded? What if they're BB guns? Are they are to display the guns to curious patrons upon request?

[Skittles]

36. pathetic

[NYC_SKP]

37. I would totally eat there.

Too bad I live so far away.
