Attempted Robbery At Waffle House Stopped By Men With Concealed Carry Permits
A Waffle House bandit in Atlanta picked the wrong restaurant to rob. During the early hours on a recent Monday morning, an armed robber wearing a hoodie and a bandana entered the Fulton County, Georgia restaurant and demanded the cashier open the register and turn over all the cash inside. Unfortunately for the armed crook, two enjoying a hearty breakfast possessed concealed carry permits and thwarted the theft.
Ashton Macafee, 20, was shot by an off-duty security guard who was dining at the Waffle House with his police officer pal. Both men were off the clock and immediately sprang into action when the robber held the customers at gunpoint. In a recent Off The Grid News report about North Carolina concealed carry law changes, I noted the anti-Second Amendment policy at a Wilmington Waffle House. Hopefully the incident at the Atlanta chain will prompt the local franchise owner to rethink his policy about allowing customers to exercise their concealed carry licenses inside his store.
Atlanta off-duty police officer Jonathan Sutton and his security guard friend Evans Chad Pollard prevented the robbery and possibly saved lives during the early morning crime. Sutton was reportedly unable to get to his gun in time, but Pollard was able to reach his and fired off two rounds, hitting Ashton Macafee.
