Are McDonald's Gun-Free?

McDonald’s and some other franchises are somewhat “wishy-washy” about being “gun-free zones,” although they definitely lean in that direction. They say they will “abide by local laws,” most of which mandate that such places ARE “gun-free zones.” How then, did a “gun fight” happen in a Charlotte, NC McDonald’s? Word is that two groups were talking when one person pulled out a gun and shot another, causing another to pull out his gun and do some more shooting. Luckily, they were very poor shots, and nobody was killed, although a car in a parking lot was hit. It is not known how badly the car was injured. What is obvious here is that McDonald’s customers think nothing of ignoring such things and bring their guns everywhere they go, “gun-free zones” notwithstanding. On the contrary, “gun-free zones are a MAGNET for would-be illegal shooters, everywhere. 100% of all mass shootings have HAPPENED in “gun-free zones.” Why then, do they keep making them? Are they just stupid, or what? (Charlotte Observer)
