So because of that sign the restaurant was robbed? That's like an establishment that has a sign requiring clothing being attacked by crazy nudists. Either the robbing has entirely random or some a-hole NRA member wanted to make a political point. But if it was just your run of the mill robber, than I'm pretty sure the sign had nothing to do with it.

You dont like guns thats fine dont own one. But dont try and take away the rights of law abiding citizens just so you can have a false sense of security.
I love the 1st ammendment, allows me to write this BS.

Is your society so screwed up that you have to carry lethal weapons just to go work?

This thread makes very little sense - unless, of course, this gun free restaurant is the only place to have been subject of an armed robbery in Durham, NC
Edit:
There was an armed robbery in Durham, NC yesterday.
www.wral.com...
I assume the Soletez Boutique was a gun free zone too?

If what happened in that video actually happened in real life, you'd have a frikkin' bloodbath on your hands.
People who need to walk around with a gun on them at all times as a prerequisite for interaction with other human beings are very frightened people.
I'd pick a calm criminal over a frightened crowd of armed wannabe vigilantes any day of the week. In one case I get robbed. Second case, I probably get shot in the face by some nervous dude who thought I was the criminal. And then he would probably get shot by someone else. Ect...

Give me a break!
About ten years ago, a restaurant that I often patronized, (that did NOT have a "No Guns" sign posted) was also robbed at gunpoint. The difference is, not only did the robbers take all their money, they also shot and killed one of the two brothers who owned the establishment.
Should I conclude that robberies are more lethal at establishments who choose not to display a "No Guns" sign?
IMO, your hypothesis that the establishment in question was robbed at gunpoint specifically because of the fact that they chose to display the sign has more holes in it than a good wheel of Swiss cheese.
But if I were to get all technical on the 2nd ammendment. The right to arm yourself with guns is conditional on the maintenance of a "Well Regulated Militia". I doubt every gun owner in America is willing to join a well regulated militia lol.
