Or don't go within a mile of the restaurant because, you know, the bullets could fly out, travel the distance, and hit you in the head and kill you.

Hey, it could happen.

It could.

Really.

And all because somebody didn't get Heinz 57 for ketchup.

It's possible.

It's a seafood restaurant...in Utah. Hardly the best place to get fresh Halibut.

Hot tip number 9 "Never buy fresh fish from the trunk of a car with Oklahoma plates."

Whatever works for them. Maybe they'll get free PR from self-righteous disarmament enthusiasts who don't eat there anyway.

"It's all fun and games until somebody loses an eye!"

Honestly, I feel so many "adults" in our country think and behave as adolescents, want to make this whole firearms issue into a power-trip/political thingy because their lives are just too safe and secure; Middle class, White & Straight come to mind. They unconsciously benefit from the status-quo but feel scared they are "losing ground" and thus have to "take back their country" from the minorities and homosexuals. I'm talking about those, "He may be a little crazy but he's got a point," Trump supporters, in other words.

The right not to get the shit kicked out of you walking down the street with your gay lover is a political thing.

The right not to get shot in the back by the police when walking/driving-while-Black is a political thing.

The right to order your latte while Open Carry and not get stared at? -Meh, not so much.

Sure, I'd love to wear a kilt and strap on a 6" S&W while busing tables for shit's & giggles but hell, I'd know why I was doing it... not soap-boxing about about my "rights" with a straight-face.

:sorry: OK... rant off.

I'd prefer that re-worded to "It's either the safest restaurant in town or the most dangerous. It all depends on how you view people who profess to support the Second Amendment by openly carrying" :)

But that's just me.

Note to self: need to find a stainless / nickel pistol in case of dressy open carry. If I'm wearing a kilt I'm not gonna strap on a Glock.

Or a mirror-polished stainless CZ 75 B. I just handled one at my LGS. It was so shiny I had a hard time letting go...

With a kilt a Pink Glock would just be the best accessory.

It's a kilt, not a skirt. Herr Glock is not going to approve. Nein!

If your wearing a Kilt you need a Claymore. If you want more modern than it needs a Welbey Revolver. The best defensive weapon when wearing a kilt is a set of war bagpipes. Blowing the pipes will scare all but horny tomcats away.

The claymore sword is one of the most recognized swords in history. Claymore is a term derived from the Gaelic claidheamohmor, meaning "great sword." Claymore was first used to describe the large cross-hilted broadsword used in the Scottish Highlands and by Scottish mercenaries in Ireland from the late 15th to early 17 century. Several Scottish literary references indicate that the term "claymore" was applied by Gaelic speakers in the Highlands to both the old-fashioned, two-handed sword and the characteristic Scottish basket-hilted sword of the early 18th century. The average claymore sword length is about 55inches. Being since the sword was so huge, the swordsman need no shield which gave the impression and symbol of pride and strength. The claymore was a favorite weapon of the Highlanders of Scotland because it gave a fearsome presence on the battlefield.

It is a unique original by our own KlownKannon! It's his interpretation of a golem, a mud creature vigilante out of Jewish lore.
