(Seattle) After CHOP, no armed police officers allowed inside Molly Moon's ice cream shop

SEATTLE – This week, Molly-Moon Neitzel posted a sign outside her Capitol Hill ice cream shop. “Police officers, Molly Moon’s is a gun free zone. Please do not come inside if you are wearing a firearm,” the sign reads.

Moon-Neitzel, who owns nine ice cream shops across the region, said the signs only hang at the Capitol Hill location. She said the move comes after hundreds of armed officers visited her shop while CHOP was being dismantled. “We had a few hundred come in, packing their guns and it was making my employees feel uncomfortable.”

Moon-Neitzel said all of her shops have been gun-free for roughly five years, but after CHOP, she said she felt like she needed to specifically clarify, this policy includes armed police officers. “They were intimidating and causing some of my black and brown employees to feel unsafe.”
