Not everyone is in favor of the discount program at Papa Roux for customers with a license to carry a handgun.
The issue was a topic of discussion on "The Meredith Vieira Show," which aired Monday morning on Channel 13.
Shannon Watts of Zionsville founded the group "Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America." She talked about the prospect of armed people in stores and restaurants -- and her group's efforts to change policy.
"A lot of people don't realize you can go to your local Kroger store and there's someone with a loaded AR-15 standing next to you. That's perfectly legal," Watts said on the show. "We've gotten companies like Target, Starbucks and Chipotle to change their gun policies."
Watts said what started as an online discussion turned into a worldwide movement with more than 3 million members.
This place is 200 yards away from the IMPD training center, and East-side Indianapolis Command Post.
The whole area has gotten bad in the last 5-6 years, with a HUGE influx of minorities, when the apartments in the area went Section 8.
The businesses Watts named didn’t change their gun policy, they asked that people not carry, but said they would abide by state and local laws.
When was the last time anybody here saw someone carrying a loaded AR-15 in the grocery store?
And when was the last mass shooting with an AR-15 done in a grocery?
Looks like I shoulda done a bit of editting before I posted
It might be an old stereotype, but the fact is that all-night doughnut shops had a policy of giving cops free coffee and doughnuts in the midnight shifts (actually, all shifts but those were the ones they needed help with) to make it so the robbers would either see there were cops there or know cops could stop by at any second.
It worked.
And continues to do so to this day.
I would eat there without asking for the discount.
It’s good to see people are standing up and facing off against the evil.
Love the food at the Roux - Mama & Papa are great people, and their Croux are awesome as well...

Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America is a campaign by Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Both Mayors Against Illegal Guns and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America will be brought under a new umbrella group called Everytown for Gun Safety.
And all of it is funded by Michael Bloomberg to the tune of about $50 million a year.
Great marketing.
