It's Unlikely a Group of Open-Carry Activists Expected This to Happen When They Went to Eat at a Fast-Food Restaurant :: 05/10/2014
"A group of Texas open-carry activists knew their public display of firearms would likely frighten off potential evildoers, but they probably never expected it to ward off an entire fast-food team and summon about a dozen cop cars.
Members of Open Carry Tarrant County had stopped at a Fort Worth Jack in the Box restaurant before a scheduled demonstration to simply order some food last Thursday. The fast-food employees, however, apparently thought they were in danger of becoming robbery victims and made a rather unorthodox move.
"They locked themselves inside a freezer for protection out of fear the rifle-carrying men would rob them," an email from Sgt. Ray Bush read, according to KXAS-TV ."
While open carry is certainly an individual prerogative, a little bit of discretion goes a long way. We're still chuckling over this one, BUT, what if one of the employees in the freezer had been an armed citizen?
