I’ve never had occasion to eat at a Jack in the Box; but I’m
not about to … given their ‘gun-free zone’ stance.
According to an article from Breitbart, armed men allegedly herded customers into a back room
and robbed the safe of a Jack in the Box last week in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.
In May of 2014, Jack in the Box asked law-abiding citizens
not to carry guns into their eating establishments. Less than 2-weeks after making that request,
two Jack in the Box restaurants were robbed-… both in Houston and a shooting in
Nashville.
Jack in the Box is one of the many corporations that have
caved to pressure from the anti-gun group Moms Demand Action. A statement from Jack in the Box’s Vice
President of Corporate Communications Brian Luscomb makes clear that the
company is responding to pressure and acting on behalf of its corporate and
franchise stores: “The presence of
guns inside a restaurant could create an uncomfortable situation for our guests
and employees and lead to unintended consequences.”
It appears that the “unintended consequences” of Jack in the
Box’s decision to cave to the Moms Demand organization has resulted in a less
safe environment for their restaurants.
I don’t care how good their food may be, I won’t be patronizing
Jack in the Box until Jack gets his head out of the box of appeasement and
welcomes law-abiding 2nd Amendment citizens to the table.
