Default 25% discount at Indianapolis restaurant for carry permit

http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/i...wners-34731751

I just watched an interview with the owner. There was an armed robbery in which the cashier refused to comply, and the robber grabbed some money from the tip jar and fled. Afterwards, a customer came up and told the cashier that he had a concealed weapon and was watching the situation, and was ready to intervene if things got ugly. The restaurant decided that it was a good idea to encourage customers to carry. You get a 25% discount for showing your carry permit. You don't need to show your gun, just your carry permit.

Some of the usual nincompoops are complaining about it on Twitter and saying they won't eat there anymore, but business has been booming. They say they are afraid they will be overwhelmed with all the new business!

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
