Virginia pizza shop gives discount to gun owners

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA (WKTR/CNN) – Slice by slice, one Virginia Beach pizza shop is showing its support for the Second Amendment by offering fifteen percent off pies to gun owners.

"All they have to do is show me that they're carrying a weapon or they can show me their concealed weapons permit and they can get the discount," says All Around Pizza owner, Jay Laze.

Laze started the offer after a Utah frozen yogurt shop made headlines earlier this month for also giving gun toters discounts.

"I thought it was a great idea and I was wondering why nobody here was doing it," he says. "It should be happening all around the country."

Offer a 15% discount and have overall sales drop by twice that amount.

Let us know when the bankruptcy auction date is posted.

I wonder if he'd refuse to give the discount to a bunch of big house-builders with their various guns...

We'd bring two guns and demand 30% off our bill because we are splitting the cost of one pizza and watch heads explode trying to figure it out.
