NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – Starting Thursday, the armed security guard at Panera Bread Co. across from Vanderbilt University will no longer be carrying a firearm.
According to the manager at the 21st Avenue location, the decision comes after multiple patrons complained to corporate that the armed security agent was violating the company’s own gun policy and making them uncomfortable.
One of those who complained was Lillian Hallstrand, a long-time customer of the Panera on 21st.
The Director of Stewardship and Vocational Planning at Vanderbilt’s divinity school told news 2 coming to the restaurant in recent months has been unsettling since the guards began to carry firearms.
“It was definitely alarming,” Hallstrand explained. “Typically when I see people around with guns, I assume there is some sort of law enforcement happenings taking place. I was reluctant to go in till I knew that there was nothing going on.”

Criminals in Nashville have just been told which restaurant to hit!
Free Victims at Panera! No one will resist you!
*Rolleyes*
Enforcing the law doesn't mean an OK Corral shootout, you #$%!@#$@#! idiot.
No hard facts, just feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelings.
Good Bye, America. We hardly knew ye.
let’s have a pool: I say there’s a robbery within 30 days.
You know - if Panera Bread needs armed security guards to protect their restaurants, then quite clearly, that is one location in a bad area of town I’ll never set foot in.
Damn, and I though TN would be a nice place to retire. I get that there are moonbats everywhere, but at this rate I may have to move to the moon.
Perhaps they could disguise the gun to look like a sandwich on the guard’s hip instead.
Wow—are guards, armed or otherwise, common at TN restaurants?
12 or less
“Enforcing the law doesn’t mean an OK Corral shootout, you #$%!@#$@#! idiot.”
Of course it does according to leftards! How about the mass shootings at guns shows and NRA conventions? s/
“Starting Thursday, the armed security guard at Panera Bread Co. across from Vanderbilt University will no longer be carrying a firearm.”

You can also google her for some interesting images.
or paint the firearm pink with flowers so miss gutless here won’t faint at the sight of one
The fool owner caved in to a couple of whiners and put the majority of customers at risk. I agree, it will most likely be a robbery target. Hopefully the guard has a ccw permit.
Send her some love:

Maybe they'll feel more comfortable in a casket when the ARMED robbers show up...........................
It’s their store.
Bwahahahahaha.....
“Multiple patrons complained” = Two or three lefties colluded to make a separate complaint, not the outcry they are suggesting and hiding behind.
Yeah, please lefties check reason at the door and by all means use feelings as your sole guide. Now people see why we have the 2nd Amendment allowing people to conceal carry and to protect themselves from the pajama boy type lefties.
