They say their business forbids weapons

I guess forbidding weapons didn't work out too well for them. Maybe they should consider forbidding robbery instead, see if that works.

Another example in an endless series of why we, as regular citizens, should completely disregard "NO WEAPONS" signs and carry guns everywhere we go.

Waffle House won't pay your hospital bill if you get hurt during a robbery or other violent crime.

Your own personal safety is your own personal responsibility.

I don't have any negative thoughts about a private business not wanting guns on their property. I feel it's their right. On the other side of things, I also have no qualms about ignoring their wishes.

when did waffle house go no gun? ive always carried there. never seen a sign.

what about the guy that shot a robber dead at a waffle house? he wasnt charged with anything.

The real question is, do these signs invite crime? In some cases (e.g. Aurora CO) definitely; in others, maybe the perps don't put so much forethought into their actions.

Each event has to be taken as a case-by-case study that is unique.

There was a guy that tried robbing a gun store that had one or two marked patrol cars parked in front.

Sometimes people just have poor impulse control completely independent of all other factors.
