CHL shoots and kills Waffle House robber. No one was injured except the robber. Shooter not arrested. Waffle House seemed happy about the outcome. No mention if it was a gun free zone.

Maybe they'll rethink their gun free zone policy. If it was a gun free zone do you think the alleged robber was mad that the shooter broke the rules?

Waffle House is a gun free zone nationwide. http://zap2it.com/2015/09/waffle-house- ... d-soldier/

This is not the first time a customer has ignored their policy and saved their bacon. http://gunsnfreedom.com/waffle-house-cu ... iminal/869

That whole "no guns" policy remark is interesting. I don't believe the one I've been to in Plano is posted. Are we sure its a national policy or just the policy of the franchise owner that's being quoted?

Here's their response to a query about their policy. http://www.thehighroad.org/archive/inde ... 54171.html

I haven't seen one posted with a 30.06 here in Texas. I thought they were only primarily against customers openly carrying in their business.

I suspect you're correct. Certain malls do the same thing - they preach no guns, but Ive never seen one posted. Personally, it won't stop me from carrying in one, but I understand the principle in not giving them business.

You would wish they'd learn. Think about how long it took to get the 1st human to the moon. I would not expect a fast decision, jf at all from Waffle House management.

Wonder if there was a security video of the incident, and, if so, whether they will release it.

Maybe waffle houses are less dangerous than cafeterias? :tiphat:

IJK. I don't give my business to places that don't want me.

Yup, there are posted malls as well.

Are the current signs at Grapevine Mills compliant? I thought they used the wrong wording. :rules:

I know GVPD says they enforce, but I'm not aware that they have actually had to...
