"It's called Shooters Grill and it is located in Rifle, Colo., so naturally, the waitresses pack heat.
"The burger joint, about 180 miles west of Denver, embraces the firearms theme with menu items like the "M16 burrito," "Smith & Wesson Grilled Cheese" and "Locked and Loaded Nachos." The salt and pepper shakers are made from shotgun shells. But the biggest Second Amendment statement is in the guns waitresses carry, including the Rueger Blackhawk .357 Ashlee Saenz sports.
"Owner Lauren Boebert, 27, started the trend when she began carrying a pistol shortly after opening the restaurant a year ago.
" 'I started open-carrying maybe a month after we opened just because I am a woman in business and I was there early hours and late nights," Boebert said. "There was a man beaten to death in the alley behind my restaurant last year. It was very unfortunate."
Good reviews at Yelp.

Hi There! I saw your review and wanted to apologize for the dissatisfaction with your meal.
Our breakfast steaks are cut to be a smaller 6oz steak.
"We use to serve 8oz steaks in the mornings, and we were having a lot of folks saying it was "too much for breakfast" so we cut back on the size and the price to accommodate the requests of our frequent guests....but you can always upgrade to a larger steak! We hand cut all of our steaks in house, so we can always slice a larger steak!
"If ever you do not like the food you receive, for ANY reason, please let us know and we will do our best to correct your order!"
Shoot yeah: Shooters Grill owner Lauren Boebert and her husband Jayson, who have four children together,
