Heat Street: Maine restaurant won’t serve customers who like guns
A restaurant owner in Maine is not only serving AR-15 owners, but she’s also denying service to gun rights supporters who believe in owning rifles like the AR and others like it are an inalienable right.
After the deadly terror attack at a gay nightclub in Orlando, a restaurant owner in Portland (Maine not Oregon) wanted to do something “outside the box” in order to solve the problem of “gun violence” in America.
