Los Angeles,Ca.-Loving Floyd, Known as "Pretty Boy" Floyd to his friends, was tired of his West L.A. convenience store being held up. Security cameras, silent alarms, and bullet-proof glass shields all proved ineffective. Then he changed a simple sign that had hung in the store window for years.
Loving's new policy states that if you aren't packing heat you're no longer welcome in his store. Since that simple change six months ago there hasn't been a single instance of theft nor threat.
Customers can shop in ease and comfort knowing that they, or anyone else in the store, can easily handle any problem that could, or would arise. They can be quick on the draw sometimes, but there hasn't even been one injury due to the new policy.
"Any potential trouble-makers see the sign and go elsewhere." said Cyrus Grunge, who along with his "Bitch", Michael, are regular customers. "If they don't, old Roscoe here," he said, patting his gun, "can deal with 'em."
"I don't like guns," said the slightly effeminate Michael, clinging to his friend's side like ivy on a wall, "but I'm sure glad Cyrus does." Loving has also added ammo and gun supplies to his inventory. "A lot of times when things are slow," he said, "we'll sit around and admire each other's guns."
