Lauren Boebert, 28, of Shooters Grill in Rifle, Colorado, makes staff take a concealed weapon training class before letting them lose.
這家餐廳位于科羅拉多州來福鎮(zhèn)，名叫“射手烤肉苑”（Shooters Grill）。28歲的老板勞倫?貝波特（Lauren Boebert）要求店員們在正式上崗前參加隱蔽武器培訓課程。
The devout Christian and mother-of-four says the firearm dress-code hasn't deterred customers and they flock from far and wide to catch a piece of the action.
勞倫是一個虔誠的基督徒，也是四個孩子的母親。她表示，店員配槍的著裝規(guī)定并沒有嚇跑顧客。相反，有很多顧客專程從外地趕來體驗一番。
'We've had people from Alaska, we've had people from Missouri, Illinois, Kansas, we've had customers drive all the way from Utah just to eat dinner,' she told Barcroft TV.
“我們的顧客有來自阿拉斯加的，還有來自密蘇里、伊利諾斯和堪薩斯的，甚至還有顧客從猶他州一路開車過來，只為吃一頓晚餐?！眲趥惛嬖VBarcroft TV頻道。
'We've seen people rewrite their vacation trips - they were going to go the southern route and decided to go the northern route so they could come into Rifle, Colorado and see us.'
她說：“還有顧客會專門更改他們的旅行計劃——比如原本打算走南線，為了到來福鎮(zhèn)看我們，又把行程改為北線?！?
Lauren has even adapted the menu to incorporate aptly-named dishes such as the 'Locked N’ Loaded Nachos' and 'Bull's Eye Grilled Chicken'.
勞倫甚至還改良了菜單，設計出了一些別出心裁的菜名，比如“上膛墨西哥玉米片”和“靶心烤雞”。
The walls are also decked out with gun-themed decor - along with crosses reflecting Lauren’s strong religious faith.
餐廳的墻上有槍支主題的裝飾品，還有反映勞倫深厚的宗教信仰的十字架。
The entrepreneur opened her eatery in May 2013 with the help of her husband Jayson, 34.
2013年5月，勞倫在34歲的丈夫杰森（Jayson）的幫助下開了這家餐廳。
But only a month after launching, Lauren says a man was killed outside the venue.
沒想到僅僅開業(yè)一個月，就有一名男子在餐廳外被殺。
She swiftly looked into getting a permit for a concealed weapon - only to discover that she could already openly carry guns in her own restaurant.
她立刻開始考慮申請隱蔽武器攜帶許可，后來卻發(fā)現(xiàn)其實她可以在自家餐廳公開配槍。
Recalling the chain of events, Lauren said: 'There was an altercation in our back alley that ended with a man losing his life so I began to look into getting a concealed weapon permit so I could start carrying.'
勞倫回憶說：“當時餐廳后巷有人起了爭執(zhí)，最終導致一名男子死亡。于是我開始考慮申請一個隱蔽武器攜帶許可，這樣我就可以攜帶武器?！?
'I learned that in Colorado you do not need a permit to open carry so I took my gun to work the next day.'
“后來，我聽說在科羅拉多無需申請許可就能公開攜帶槍支，于是第二天我就開始配槍上班?！?/p>
'Now all of the waitresses openly wear guns and carry dangerous hollow-point bullets - which are designed to cause maximum damage to a potential attacker by expanding on impact.'

17歲的布羅克?沙克爾福（Broke Shackleford）說：“因為我年紀小，所以不能帶著槍到處走，但打獵的時候我可以佩槍?！?
'My mom carries everywhere, my dad carries everywhere and I can carry at the restaurant because it's Lauren's private property and she allows me to do so.'
“我的父母到哪兒都帶著槍。我能在餐廳佩槍是因為這里是勞倫的私有財產，而她允許我這么做?！?
Broke says that customers are encouraged to tip with bullets - some even leave weapons.
布羅克稱，餐廳鼓勵顧客用子彈代替小費，有些顧客甚至還會留下他們自己的槍。
The server added: 'I know some of the waitresses have been tipped in ammo but it has never happened to me.
布羅克補充道：“我知道有些店員收到了‘彈藥小費’，不過我自己還從未遇到過。
'It was just nice and actually quite funny - it was a good tip.'
“這樣很好，事實上這非常有趣——這真是不錯的小費。”
Police say Shooters Grill's open carry gun policy would be different if the diner served alcohol.
警方稱，如果“射手烤肉苑”提供酒品，那么這種公開佩槍的政策就無法接受了。

好在，餐廳只供應蘇打水、咖啡和飲料，確保顧客可以看管好自己的手槍。
