As she takes your order at Shooters Grill in the town of Rifle — yes, Rifle — waitress Ashlee Saenz carries a pad, pen and a loaded Ruger .357 Blackhawk revolver holstered on her leg, Old West style.

What a great store. If I had the means and didn’t care about leaving friends and family behind, I’d go there in a heartbeat.

Too bad it’s in Colorado. CO is on my ‘do not visit’ list until they repeal Hickenlooper’s gun law.

I’m stopping in there for a bite to eat on my way to a family reunion in Evergreen on Aug. 15.

You would be welcome in Custer County, Colo. where they have open carry Independence Day Parades. Last year there were over 550 of us marching down Main Street with our firearms. 4 County Sheriffs led the parade.

I’m more impressed by the name of the city, Rifle.
