    What proof, that it would make some a target of criminals? Really, if you do not believe that some big gangbanger that sees some small elderly woman carrying a gun on her hip would make her a target of opportunity then you do not know the criminal mind, for them it would be an easy way to get a gun. Since it is not legal to do so in the US, at least not until lately there are no true numbers but I would point out the fact that more than one police officer has had their own gun taken away from them and several have been shot by their own gun and these are people that are trained to defend themself in a fight and to be aware of the fact that it could happen, yet it does anyway, do you honestly believe some petite woman or even man would fair better. Use some common sense.

    I am sure the owner would be the first to tell you not to let the door hit you in the arse on your way out.

    Correct. If I don't know they are carrying, then its not an issue for me.

    So basically your fear is irrational since both result in the same thing.

    It would have absolutely no effect on you unless you owned the restaurant. Btw it could be said that those who carry weapons are paranoid as well.

    That's fine by me. It's his place; not mine.

    Both you and I will have to agree to disagree on this thread.

    180 miles west of Denver? it's a long drive back up that hill to Glenwood Springs.

    google says there's 10 restaurants in town, and this one sounds the lest hickey.

    There's no story. I should have clarified my position earlier to include open carrying citizens and not police.

    so it's ok if the swat team comes storming in, but you're scared of a waitress? my bookie says if the waitresses are armed, they're less likely to need the swat team.

    How many restaurants have you been in and had a swat team come storming in?? Obviously your not interested in discussing this rationally, so both you and I will have to agree to disagree on this thread.
