[Video] NC BBQ Restaurant With Prominent “NO GUNS” Sign Robbed at Gunpoint

Recently, there have been two shootings at Jack in the Box restaurant less than 10 days after they decided to ask law abiding gun owners to leave their guns at home. Now we have yet another “gun free” restaurant who has been the victim of criminals with… you guessed it, guns.
According to local media reports, The Pit in Durham, NC was robbed at gunpoint after just recently opening up the restaurant.
According to ABC11,

Authorities said just before 9 p.m. Sunday, three men wearing hoodies entered the restaurant through the back doors with pistols, and forced several staff members to lie on the floor.
The bandits assaulted two employees during the crime, but they were not seriously injured.

As the NC Gun Blog points out,

[The sign is] not just some generic “No Guns” sign the owner, Greg Hatem picked up down at the local sign emporium. No, these are custom jobs. He went out of his way to make custom signs to make sure we gun owners felt unwelcome.
…let me describe it. The three pictograms are labeled “NC State Capitol,” “NC Legislative Building,” and “The Pit.” Above the pictograms it says, “No Weapons” and below, “No Concealed Firearms.”

It sounds like the signs worked perfectly. There were no law abiding gun owners in the restaurant at the time of the robbery that we know of.

NC Store Posts ‘No Weapons Allowed’ Sign. Owners Learn Armed Robbers are Illiterate or Don’t Care.

By Justen Charters 35 mins ago


“The Pit” is a restaurant in North Carolina with a sign on its window that reads"

“No Weapons.. No Concealed Firearms.”

On Monday, May 19th, the restaurant owners learned just how powerless their deterrent was to criminals. Surveillance footage shows three armed men coming in the backdoor, assaulting two of the employees and forcing them to the floor. Fortunately for the employees, no one was seriously injured.

Criminals, by definition, do not follow the law. The tragic spree shootings at the movie theater in Aurora, Newtown, and other instances bear that painful lesson out. If you disarm good law-abiding people, you’re just making it that much easier for criminals to find helpless victims.

PC BACKFIRE? With ‘No Weapons’ Allowed Sign in Window, NC Eatery Is Robbed at Gunpoint

A Durham, NC BBQ restaurant that posted a prominent “No Weapons” sign in its window has been robbed by masked perps with pistols. Fortunately, no one was hurt in the holdup…except, maybe, the feelings of the owner who had let law-abiding customers know they and their guns weren’t welcome.
The website ncgunblog.com has details of the weekend robbery at The Pit Authentic Barbecue:

The three pictograms [on the custom restaurant sign] are labeled “NC State Capitol,” “NC Legislative Building,” and “The Pit.” Above the pictograms it says, “No Weapons” and below, “No Concealed Firearms.”
This isn’t just a simple case of some unthinking restauranteur slapping up an anti-gun sign. This is a political statement. He’s very clearly saying “The Legislature bans guns in their workplace, why are they allowing them in mine.”

Over at the website gunssavelives.net, you can see the actual surveillance video that shows the robbery in progress.
So, do you think the restaurant will now welcome legally armed patrons who could protect against armed criminals who might want to hold up the place? Nah, neither do we.
