Panera Bans Guns From All 1800 Locations, Then Something Absolutely HORRIFYING Happens Panera decided to ban all guns from its 1800 locations in the United States. They believe, along the lines of what Obama argues, that restricting gun use will restrict crimes. This argument has been proved wrong over and over, and it is even crazier to ban guns from certain locations. These locations then become a clear target from crime and terrorism. Following CEO Shaichs announcement to prohibit guns, two police officers were killed in a deadly shooting at one of the restaurants. The shooter was David Brian Evans, who was subsequently shot by other officers. Gun-free zones do not work. They are dangerous. Do you think it should be illegal to make restaurants gun-free?
