Denny's shooting settlement

[dragonsden73]

The only way to get the police to show up where I live is to complain about a naked woman lying in the street or a really good looking discount prostitute standing in front of your house.(this usually will result in a "swarm" call and five cars in three minutes) If you use the words gun, assault, robbery, break-in or God forbid murder, you are on your own for at least an hour.

That's some funny stuff. Sadly, there may be more truth to this than some might think. I wonder what would happen if you called in a Krispy Kreme truck overturn????

The precedent set is very obvious. Do not do business in Kent. It's too dangerous for everybody until the citizenry decides otherwise and takes action.

I like this precident actually. You take away our basic right to defend ourselves then you better have something in place to do that. Denny's is the only diner that I can think of that I've seen No Handgun signs on their doors. That's why I choose not to go to one.

dennys here in kingman az has a no weapons sign in the front door. so the bad guys know that no one in dennys is carrying conceled. az law says any resident can carry concled. so dennys is in conflict with state laws in that regard, and a jury here would probley have the same outcome

It's not violating state laws since it's on private property. However, since they won't let armed citizens on thier property then they are responsible for protecting their patron's.

Actually I must admit I too agree, although my preference is to avoid places that restrict guns for any reason as much as possible

I think the reason that juries tend to be so generous with other people's money is that they think that they may some day get a chance to win the "lottery" the same way.

Being shot and paralyzed for life = winning the lottery?
