The Cajun Experience, Virginia Restaurant, Offers Gun Owner Discounts To Customers


A Cajun restaurant in Leesburg, Va., has become the latest eatery to offer discounts to gun owners.

The Cajun Experience, a downtown establishment with a menu heavy on crawfish and gumbo, started offering its special "Open Carry Wednesday" promotions several weeks ago, according to Leesburg Today.

Owner Bryan Crosswhite told the outlet that he was offering the 10 percent discount in an effort to promote the right to bear arms.

“I’ve seen what the restricting of freedom is all about,” Crosswhite said. “It’s our legal right to carry. I want it to be (my customers’) right to carry in our restaurant.” ...................(more)

A promotion like this will draw every idiot in the county. Cue the Darwin Award entry. It can not be far behind. Guns in the open and alcohol, what will they think of next.....

When you have to offer discounts to knuckle-draggers.

In the interest of disclosure, I am a gun owner, but I am not so insecure that I feel a need to strap one on in order to go out to eat.

“I’ve seen what the restricting of freedom is all about,”

Care to go into a bit of detail/explanation on that statement, dickhead?

Virginia is a crazy place. There are all these factions of Republicans that hate each other. Aside from the usual Democratic/Republican issues.

Many businesses post signs disallowing guns in them
