Kudos to the manager who herded everybody into that freezer.

Pulling a stunt like this one should get their guns taken away from them until they grow up.

What if folks had found themselves locked in the freezer, and had not been able to get out?

Do the gun fetishists care about anybody other than themselves?

this is just another lie from Big Gun Control. Should it surprise anyone that the same group of people who condone petty theft also lie?

have been standard on walk in freezer doors for decades.

if things had gone bad.
The ignorant sheeple can't tell the difference between a posse of heroes in waiting and an armed mob bent on destruction.
Perhaps some distinctive apparel, something shiny and easily seen at a glance.

A tin foil hat sounds about right.

protest without doing the cause more harm than good.

Make it harder on responsible firearms owners.

I mean do they seriously think that it "in your face" is actually a good idea to legalize open carry? The appropriateness of OC in an urban area is a different issue, which I generally think it isn't.

People are threatened, sometimes irrationally sometimes not, by anything out of the ordinary. A bunch of guys standing around in a parking lot with no signs or any indication of why they are there would freak most city folks out. When I was a kid, there was a guy who open carried on his motorcycle when he went to the range. The way Wyoming's CCW laws were at the time, that was the only legal way to carry it since a saddle bag or a pack would be the same as under the car seat or glove box. When he stopped for gas, he fueled his bike, paid for it and left without anyone freaking.

and want some fame, they do not even care if it really is just hurting the cause they supposedly are for. They got exactly what they wanted, a reaction and publicity.

someone here, I can't remember who, and I pondered if it was stupidity or agent provocateur (I'm kind of cynical, but I don't give Bloomberg that much credit). Either way, it does for their cause about what this pic does for "gun free zones"

No police were called from the store, no one hid in the freezer. If you are interested, see post 19 for details. This incident was a fairy tale that has since been debunked.

decided to rob a Jack in the Box???? Each rifle they carried was probably worth more than the daily take of that joint. Also, a "large group of heavily armed white men" and, by the way "rifle-carrying men" intent on robbery were just apprehended by the cops without an incident? I should be a journalist, apparently it doesn't take much to become one.

The employees acted wisely. Only a fool would have done otherwise.

men, who they think are there to cause harm, but for some reason are not doing harm because they must think that their rifles are useless against curly fries and therefore don't advance, call the police and hide in a fridge.
Good thing the police response time is not like in some rural areas, or else the poor souls would have died from hypothermia.

This story is a lie concocted by the social media department of Bloomberg's Moms group.

If anyone ever posts an article painting guns or gun owners in an unfavorable light, it needs to be fact checked. This story is two years old, was originally printed in the NYT, and the NYT issued a retraction.

No one hid in the freezer, no one called the police from the store. Those are the facts. http://twitchy.com/brettt-3136/2014/05/10/open-carry-texas-helps-debunk-story-that-terrified-jack-in-the-box-employees-locked-themselves-in-freezer/

If people in Texas see a firearm, they are not likely to call the police OR use it as an excuse to steal. Gun control advocates are never honest. Remember that.

Dallas Eatery and Texas Monthly.

You've got a statement from Texas Open Carry.

Okay, you win

should sue for emotional harm...

god knows if I had to serve vigilante types on a daily basis I'd demand hazard pay... actually, what's my life worth? More than any fast food joint pays... so once again it's the poor that get screwed over... people that can't afford to walk away from a job that puts their life in danger... sad sad sad

a mile from my house last year. I do not know how one of these fools hasn't got shot yet. There are a lot of other people packing.
