Restaurant Owner Shocked by Reactions After She Bans AR-owning Customers

The owner of Grace restaurant in Portland, Maine, says she only wants to teach her children about love, and it’s for this very reason she made a statement to her patrons that was impeccably clear.
“If you own this gun, or you condone the ownership of this gun for private use, you may no longer enter either of my restaurants, because the only thing I want to teach my children is love,” Grace owner Anne Verrill wrote in a Facebook post along with a picture of an assault rifle, which she said were only designed for “military use” and to own one – or any gun for that matter – is not “biological in nature.”
Verrill made the decision shortly after the shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando earlier this year, and that decision was met with immediate backlash. In fact, reactions were so harsh that Verrill decided to delete the post.
“There were some very crazy ones,” Verrill said of the comments. “I took it down so they no longer could use it as their own platform.”
She said overall, the post hasn’t hurt her business, but Verrill – as well as her employees – take safety a little more serious now.
“We don’t go through every day being fearful, but you are constantly more aware of your surroundings,” Verrill said. “I knew I might upset some people, but I never could have foreseen what happened.”
Under state law, customers are legally allowed to carry a concealed firearm into Verrill’s business, unless she posts a sign expressly stating otherwise. However, Verrill said she won’t go so far as to post a “No Guns Allowed” sign, noting that if someone wants to bring a gun inside the business, a sign won’t stop them.

Owning a gun is not “biological in nature.” ROTFLMAO. What the hell does that mean, if anything? A gun is not a living thing? A gun isn’t made of plants, or animals? Then telephones, plumbing, jewelry, sidewalks, and plastic aren’t “biological” either.
What a maroon! —– B. Bunny.
She’s clearly not a Christian but believes in the silly notion that things evolved. Just another citizen who will be crying for the government to feed her when everything hits the fan. People like her will die first, unfortunately. I wish more people read the KJV Bible.
I wounder how she would answer if ask about the fact that this country was founded with guns? The fact that those in uniform fighting to keep her able to run her business are using bigger guns? The police that she may have to call have guns, because the stranger that has broken into her house has a gun?
“Under state law, customers are legally allowed to carry a concealed firearm into Verrill’s business, unless she posts a sign expressly stating otherwise.

An ar-15 isn’t a concealed firearm though. What kind of a nut would carry an ar-15 for self-defense with them everywhere they go? Too bulky, not ideal for self-defense, you are much better off with a 9mm or 45acp that shoots a big bullet, easily concealed on your person or in a holster.
My opinion has nothing to do with hating guns. It has to do with etiquette. Take your ar-15 to the gun range, on a hunting trip or keep it home. Not at the mall or at a restaurant. The maine law makes sense, without being overkill.
