Waffle House waitress shot, killed after telling customer not to smoke [View all]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Spazito (a host of the General Discussion forum).

Investigators say an argument erupted when a waitress told a customer he couldn't smoke inside the restaurant. Johnny Mount, 45, refused to put out his cigarette, pulled out a handgun he had concealed under his shirt, and shot the woman once in the head.

Is this a "Good Waitress with a Gun" scenario?

The prevalence of guns in this society makes this shit so easy and commonplace. I'm sick of it.
