   Finest Restaurant Around

   Greetings Y'all!   
      
   This Is the Most Conservative Restaurant in America, And You Would Love to   
   Eat There.   
      
   One restaurant in Colorado is anything but a "gun free zone." But from the   
   looks of it, on top of serving delicious food, it's probably the safest   
   restaurant in America, too.   
      
   How many liberals do you think would be annoyed to see their waitress   
   packing heat? (See Below) This is why I consider Shooters Grill (in the   
   properly named city of "Rifle") to be my favorite new restaurant.   
      
   From The Post Independent:   
      
   When waitress Ashlee Saenz takes your order at Shooters Grill in Rifle,   
   she not only carries a pad and pen - she also packs a loaded Ruger.357   
   Blackhawk handgun holstered on her leg, Old West style.   
      
   It's loaded and she knows how to use it.   
      
   Saenz and her co-workers, along with customers who come into Shooters, are   
   encouraged by Shooters' owners to pack heat in the restaurant, as allowed   
   by Colorado law.   
      
   The restaurant also hosts concealed carry training - the $75 price tag   
   includes dinner - that qualifies customers for Colorado and Utah permits.   
      
   In a nation torn in recent years by emotional Second Amendment debates,   
   fueled in part by mass shootings, there's no such controversy in this town   
   of 9,200 that's centered in ranch and natural gas country.   
      
   A sign on the front door of Shooters Grill reads, "Guns are welcome on   
   premises. Please keep all weapons holstered, unless the need arises. In   
   such cases, judicious marksmanship is appreciated."   
      
   Shooters owner Lauren Boebert of Rifle said she is simply allowing   
   customers and employees to exercise their constitutional right.   
      
   "We encourage it, and the customers love that they can come here and   
   express their rights," Boebert said. "This country was founded on our   
   freedom. People can come in carrying their gun, and they can pray over   
   their food."   
      
   NO ALCOHOL, `GUNS ALL OVER'   
      
   Boebertwas born in Florida, raised in Aurora and moved to Rifle in 2003,   
   where she met her husband, Jayson. They decided to open a restaurant a   
   little more than a year ago and tried to come up with a good name that   
   would suit the town.   
      
   "I consulted with my Christian friends and everyone said `Shooters'   
   sounded like a bar or a strip joint," Lauren Boebert said with a laugh.   
   "But I thought, this is Rifle - it was founded around guns and the Old   
   West. We called it Shooters and started throwing guns and Jesus all over   
   the place."   
      
   The decor of Shooters - which offers American and Mexican fare and does   
   not serve alcohol - is decidedly Old West, with guns and cowboy art on the   
   walls, a rough-hewn woody look and three large silver crosses that reflect   
   Boebert's strong religious faith.   
      
   This restaurant has everything there is to love about America.   
      
      
       Have a day!
