So I imagine that you understand the appeal of a 'Hooters' restaurant to men.

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Agschmid (a host of the General Discussion forum).

This is what arouses gun nuts...

Look at the body language and the look on the face of the guy to the right.

Waitresses All Pack Heat At 'Shooters Grill' In Rifle, Colo.

In the small city of Rifle, Colo., there's a restaurant called Shooters Grill. Inside, the waitresses are armed.

All nine of the establishment's servers "pack heat as they shuttle plates of food to diners," USA Today reported in an article on Tuesday. Menu items at Shooters include the "M16 burrito," the "Swiss and Wesson grilled cheese," and the "Locked and Loaded nachos." A sign on the front door of the restaurant reads: "Guns are welcome on premises. Please keep all weapons holstered unless need arises. In such case, judicious marksmanship is appreciated."

Lauren Boebert, the restaurant's 27-year-old owner, said she started carrying a pistol on her hip at work a month after opening Shooters last year. Then her waitresses picked up the practice. The guns are kept holstered, with the safeties on. But they are loaded.

It's a free business. They've found a niche that serves a stupid clientele. I wish them well.

And I do thank them for making clear that they are idiots and I won't go there.

Lol.

Seriously, onehandle, I don't think you understand the first thing about guns or sexuality.

He mentions Hooters and then looks at the face of the patron who is smiling and looking at the face of his server.

It appears to me that Antigun fold like the OP have the fixation on guns and sexuality. That might explain their fear of the sight of them.

What connection do you see?

No I don't believe there should be guns everywhere, but on private property they can do what they want.

I'm not afraid of guns.
