North Carolina restaurant The Pit was robbed at gunpoint on Sunday. Normally, local crime stories like this wouldn't merit a Townhall post, but this one is different: The Pit has a "no weapons" sign displayed prominently on its door declaring the restaurant a gun-free zone, and bans patrons from carrying concealed weapons.
Authorities said just before 9 p.m. Sunday, three men wearing hoodies entered the restaurant through the back doors with pistols, and forced several staff members to lie on the floor.
The bandits assaulted two employees during the crime, but they were not seriously injured.
What groups like Everytown for Gun Safety or Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America seem to have an issue grasping is that criminals have no respect for the law by nature of being criminals. Criminals aren't going to be stopped by a "no guns allowed" sign.

A series of smaller sign at the restaurant :
‘No locks On Doors’
‘Waitresses carry Cash’
‘Manager Has Key to Safe’...
What could go wrong?

...and to top it off, they had the gall to call the cops after the robbery, which led to MORE of those darn guns in the store.

I can explain what happened here. The "no guns" sign was displayed on the FRONT DOOR. The robbers entered through the BACK DOOR. Therefore they did not see the sign.
Now had a sign been displayed on the BACK DOOR I'm positive this crime would have never happened.

I had been wracking my brain, trying to figure out how this could happen. You just enlightened me. Now I know why these guys brought guns into a gun free zone. They didn't see the sign. Silly me. I should have been able to figure that out all by my lonesome. S/

Sunday, three men wearing hoodies entered the restaurant through the back doors with pistols, and forced several staff members to lie on the floor. They were wearing Trayvon costumes so I'm going to assume the sign was in cursive.

It was a bit presumptuous of them to post it only in English.
That wouldn't happen in California. State law require a minimum of six languages to have any legal standing.
