This happened in a fairly rural area of Illinois. What can you say---my heart aches for the families these folks leave behind. One of two states without concealed carry of any type for the law abiding citizen and free reign for unchecked evil.

I feel for these people, but my first thought when I saw the headline (forgive me for this) was "Trans-fats strike again!"

What a sad, sad story here; I am amazed. . .though not totally, reasonably. . .that there is no protection available i.e. 'gun in the drawer' or something. ..how much would it cost to have full-time onsite Security? I hope they at least, have cameras 'on'; and the perps can be id'd immediately dealt with. . .

As for that; I guess this Mother IS now. . .at the 'up North' Burger King. . .in the sky. . .

Prayers for her and her family.

Apparent robbery? I don't know. Something doesn't seem right about this story.

Perhaps there is videotape.

Even if this happened in a Concealed Carry state you can bet that the Burger King would have a policy of no employee may bring a fire arm to work policy.

Most employers do not want the liability of armed employees.

Unfortunately there has not been any civil liability lawsuit that I have seen against an employer that forbade employees in high risk positions to carry that subsequently were killed while forcibly unarmed.

Perhaps someday a truly outrageous case will come to light and that will be remedied but I won’t hold my breath. It would take Gun Owners of America or some other similar group to take such a case.

" One of two states without concealed carry of any type for the law abiding citizen and free reign for unchecked evil."

Totally irrelevant.

Anyone working in a Burger King is most likely unable to afford a legal firearm.

I think the King did it. I mean, he's this creepy, pastic-faced stalker...

How harsh is the penalty for carrying a hand gun illegally? I'm sure it isn't that harsh.
