That part of West Philly is not in a good neighborhood at all. I don't blame the guy for hiring security there. I'm sure most of his customers appreciate it. The long guns are a little over the top, but whatever, there's nothing wrong with having armed security in that area in general.

I used to go to that Jim's when visiting and the issue is that it is a super narrow place. (maybe 2 people wide, side by side)
So there is no escape route because the building is maybe 30 to 35 feet long.
You literally order when you step up the front step and watch as it is being made, pay at the end, grab your tasty cake and reverse the process.
It is not so scary but if the owner wants protection....so be it.
I wouldn't be afraid to go there at night either.
There is an unspoken thing, we are iron brothers and sisters, we are to support each other and...It is our duty to support our brothers and sisters in the iron game!

Not a good look for the business and area when you need to hire armed security lol.

That said, you need some muscle.

Pretty harsh when you need armed guards in order to have a meal nowadays . At this point you guys may as well shut er all down

Open carry of handguns is restricted in philly. There are no restrictions on long guns. Hunting loophole. It's like that in most states. Even the filthy liberal ones.

I grew up 15 mins drive to the west of this place. Nothing at all like this area but I use to go hang around 69th street and play golf at Cobbs Creek golf course from time to time. Left Philly in 2015 and will never go back.

I agree long guns are unnecessary. Better to get short-barrelled weapons especially since most encounters will be close range.
