Crime / Chow Special Pizza Discount for Gun Nuts
Posted by Paul Constant on Mon, Feb 18, 2013 at 10:57 AM
Joe My God says a Virginia Beach pizza restaurant is offering a 15% discount to any customer who shows their guns at time of purchase.
“All they have to do is show me that they’re carrying a weapon or they can show me their concealed weapons permit and they can get the discount,” says All Around Pizza owner, Jay Laze. So far, Laze says the response has been great. Brendan Kelly openly carries his handgun and says it’s nice to see a business appreciate customers like him.
Of course, this is nothing new. Banks have been offering gun-lovers programs like this for over a hundred years now, in which you show your gun or hand over a statement of gun ownership to a teller and receive all the cash the bank has on hand. Hopefully other Virginia Beach businesses won't have to suffer through a bunch of customers waving their guns around and asking about their discount policies.
It's too bad people don't understand that in certain communities gun ownership and concealed carry are a point of pride. In other areas, this is shunned/feared.

If you keep showing everyone your concealed firearm, it's not really concealed anymore.

Add to the list of crazy laws the NRA has pushed through: outrageous liability protection for gun owners and gun manufacturers. We all know that you can easily be sued if your speech or publication causes injury or loss, First Amendment notwithstanding. Yet for the nuts, anything tangentially connected with the special amendment the amendment that plays by its own rules, is required to have all sorts of extra consideration.
We can change that. You should be able to sue gun owners, and establishments that encourage irresponsible behavior with guns, for any injuries that ensue. Look how many people got shot on Gun Appreciation Day. In that case, and in this one, it has a lot to do with the type of loony gun owners you draw together in a crowd.
You should be able to sue gun owners for not storing their guns safely, and not carrying them safely too.
Common tort law, with no exceptions.

Leaving your gun unlocked is not considered negligence. It's one of the reasons the NRA has fought making them mandatory.
