90. A gun is at best the second most dangerous thing to you in most restaurants
Sat Apr 30, 2016, 08:28 PM
Apr 2016

Seriously, you are much more likely to get a bad case of food poisoning in a restaurant than get shot.

If you are going to run out of a restaurant because of the threat of seeing a gun, why would you even go into a restaurant and eat and expose yourself to many magnitudes of likely harm to your body by food poisoning?

And don't think that "it's just food poisoning". Recent studies have shown that many thousands of Americans a year suffer years long, if not life long, problems from restaurant food poisoning. It can impact your kidneys and other organs and permanently degrade your health and well being.
