How anti-gun is Buffalo Wild Wings? They so anti-gun that they ask armed cops to leave. So when I heard this “gun-free zone” got robbed by an armed criminal, well, karma’s a b-word:
FAYETTEVILLE (KFSM)- Investigators are looking for a suspect who they said robbed a man and woman at gunpoint behind a Buffalo Wild Wings Sunday morning (Dec. 14).
The suspect is possibly armed with a revolver, according to Sgt. Craig Stout. He is described as a light-skinned Hispanic man around 30-40 years old, wearing a blue hoodie, a dark hat, and a green bandana on his face, according to authorities. They said he is around 5’8″ and has a slim build.
Assistant manager Nathan Young was one of the victims in the incident. He said when he saw the gun pointed at him, he thought about his family.
“That was my first thing that came through my head was my kids, they mean more to me than anything,” Young said.
He said the incident happened around 3 a.m. He said he and a fellow coworker were in the back parking lot leaving when a man came up to their car carrying a gun.
“He cocked the gun, pointed it at us, threatened us, it was a very very intense situation,” Young said.
Young said the exchange lasted four minutes. He said several times the gun was just inches away from his face, and said the suspect touched the woman with it several times. He said the man took the woman’s purse, a set of car keys, and very little money.
“He just made it very clear that he was wanting all of the money ,and he wasn’t happy because he didn’t believe me that all I had was $2,” Young said.
Young said as a father and as a husband, he noticed the man who robbed him was married.
“I told him I had seven kids, because I saw he had a wedding ring, so I figured he might have kids, and he would sympathize with me,” Young said.
He said he is grateful he is alive today to talk about what happened. Young said people can get desperate for money around the holidays, and said he doesn’t know what his robber is going through.
“I don’t have warm feelings for the guy but I feel sorry for people who feel like they have to do things, and that’s what they have to do to get by, it’s a sad situation,” Young said.
Police said the robbery is still under investigation.

I wonder if the Buffalo Wild Wings corporate office is also a gun-free zone? I wonder if the CEO lives by the policies he advocates? No offense to Nathan Young, but anti-gun restaurants do deserve to get robbed, they’re not different than people who don’t lock their hotel rooms or leave the keys in the ignition. Every gun-free zone sends a message, it’s an admission of powerlessness, an invitation to ever criminal seeking an easy target.
Maybe they ought to rename the restaurant, Buffalo Left Wings.
Good article, I get it. Now, do the people that push these “No Gun Zones” get the message? I suspect they do not even try in most cases.
Those people are more afraid of law-abiding citizens than they are of criminals. Remember, liberals are always making excuses for criminals, liberal judges are always letting them go. So who do they fear? Us. Why? Because we have more courage than they do, and they’re intimidated by it.
Or maybe the answer is simpler than that, perhaps is just plain ignorance. They’re afraid of something they don’t understand. The irony is that once you take a liberal to a gun range, they have a good time, some even rethink their positions. But it’s not easy. All I can say is I’m glad more Americans than ever are pro-gun. I hope we can keep this momentum going.
