“It’s the safest restaurant in the country,” said Lauren Boebert of
Shooters Grill in Rifle, CO, a restaurant she owns and operates where all waitresses open carry a firearm. She spoke with Breitbart News on Monday while attending a rally in support of the Second Amendment in Richmond, VA.
Shooters Grill invites patrons to enjoy eating in a safe place:
Shooters Grill is located on the South side of East 3rd Street in downtown Rifle. Gun-themed and old-timey American restaurant serving traditional breakfast, burgers & steaks. Stop by our restaurant and enjoy great food and a VERY safe place to eat it. Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner, our food and service will make you happy. That is our place: Happy, safe and fun. We’re armed and ready to feed you
“I would argue that it’s the safest restaurant in the country,” Boebert replied, explaining the origins of her restaurant’s policy. “We started just by real-life experiences. Times got tough. We got tougher. We took a risk, and opened a business. We named it ‘Shooters Grill’ as a spin-off of Rifle, and we just opened to serve good food to our community, but real life happened, and a man was physically beat to death outside my restaurant. As a new business owner and a mother of four, I didn’t have time to sit through a class or pay my government a fee to prove my innocence and wait for their [firearm] permit, so I took action and I began to open carry to protect my people.”
