BoatBanter.com - What's with Atlanta waffle houses

Good news from the "guns everywhere" state.

An Atlanta-area man is dead and another is in custody after a dispute
between an angry customer and a Waffle House restaurant employee
turned deadly.

Atlanta’s WSB-TV reported that police were called to the Fulton County
Waffle House at around 4:30 a.m., responding to a report of shots
fire.

When officers arrived, they found 33-year-old Adrian Mosley shot to
death.

A Waffle House employee was arrested and taken to Fulton County jail.
Other employees and some customers were taken to police headquarters
to give testimony about the sequence of events that led to Mosley’s
death.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that the dispute began when
a woman who was with Mosley got into an altercation with the
restaurant’s security guard.

“The girl got into it first with the security guard and they told her
she had to leave the property,” said witness Ontray Haley to the
Journal-Constitution. “So she left but the other two guys hung around
and they told them they had to leave. The cook refused to serve them
because they were getting unruly.”

The men threatened the cook, said Haley, then gunfire erupted.

“It occurred right at the counter,” he said. “It was just chaos; I was
ducking for cover like everybody else. I looked up and I saw the guy
in the floor, dead.”

This is the second fatal shooting in an Atlanta-area Waffle House in
as many weeks.

Earlier this year, the Republican-dominated Georgia legislature passed
the so-called “guns everywhere” law, which the NRA called “the most
comprehensive pro-gun reform bill in state history.”

Under the new law, licensed gun owners are allowed to carry their
weapons to church, restaurants and bars. It will automatically grant
military personnel the right to carry firearms off duty, and the law
allows citizens to carry weapons into government buildings.

The law does not go into effect, however, until July 1.
