Growing up in Buffalo, the owner of my favorite Pizza joint always open carried a .38 on his hip. They were never robbed.
“Growing up in Buffalo, the owner of my favorite Pizza joint always open carried a .38 on his hip. They were never robbed.”
We had a local country/convenience store with a great snack bar. Best burgers and dogs around. One day someone grabbed an axe from their hardware section and robbed the place. The next day the owner/operator went and bought handguns for two of his male employees. Between the three at least one armed man was there every hour any employees were there. Never robbed again.
I remember him laughing years later that when they started open carrying shoplifting dropped by some 80%!
I guess no one wanted to tempt the men with the guns.
