Unlike PC corporations, Bergeron’s knows their audience and understands that being pro-gun pays well.
PORT ALLEN, LA (NBC33) — Bergeron’s Restaurant off Lobdell Highway in Port Allen is known for it’s cajun cooking, but recently they’ve been getting a lot of attention for something that doesn’t have anything to do with their food. The restaurant is offering a discount, but it’s far from typical.
“I just need to see a weapon. I need you to be carrying a gun,” says Bergeron’s owner Kevin Cox.
That’s right. The restaurant began offering a 10% discount a couple of weeks ago, for bringing in both your appetite and your gun.
“As long as everybody has a gun we’re all the same size,” says Cox.
Owner Kevin Cox says the idea started as a way to thank the law enforcement officers that frequent his restaurant, but soon other gun carrying customers began asking for the discount too…and he’s happy to oblige.
“I keep hearing so much about people banning guns. Target’s banning guns and these people are banning guns. Don’t they realize that that’s where people with guns are going to go? I want to take the opposite approach. How can I make my place safer?”
So far, it’s been a hit. Olivia Carambat stopped by for lunch on Thursday with her Smith and Wesson 38.
“There’s so many people who are trying to take our guns away and the government makes stricter gun laws. They forget that we really do, we’re given the right in the Constitution to keep and bear arms,” says Carambat.
Criminals beware- Cox says he gives out about 15 to 20 discounts each day.
“I think they would come in with a gun to rob me and just have lunch.”
Customers say Bergeron’s Restaurant is serving up some good cajun food, with a side of second amendment rights.
“If somebody walked in here with a gun and wanted to hurt us. We’re not defenseless,” says Carambat.
Owner Kevin Cox says that anyone carrying a legal weapon is eligible for the discount, but you must have the gun with you inside the restaurant to get it.
