Waffle House gun safety score

Grade: C

As states across the country lift COVID-19 lockdown orders and businesses gradually open their doors to costumers, Waffle House understands that it has a responsibility to keep its customers and employees safe and has adopted significant changes to help build safer communities with fewer guns.

Unfortunately, Waffle House has experienced the consequences of our nation's loose gun laws first-hand. In April of 2018, four peple were killed and two suffered gunshot wounds at a Waffle House in Nashville, Tennessee, by a shooter armed with a semi-automatic rifle. During COVID-19 quarantine in May of 2020, an employee with the Waffle House in Aurora, Colorado was shot after confronting a customer for not wearing a face mask. This is one of three incidents, so far.

Urge Waffle House to help us build safer communities.
