Dozens of supporters staged an “eat-in” this weekend at a Austin-area bakery after the establishment took heat for kicking out a gun rights advocate who was carrying a firearm in the shop.
KXAN reported the eat-in was held on Saturday at Baguette et Chocolat, with dozens of people there to show support for owners Anne-lise and Chi-minh Pham-dinh who were lambasted for their no-guns policy after kicking out The Truth About Guns editor Robert Farago for carrying a gun into the bakery.
Supporters included Sheri Soltes, a local Democratic candidate running for the Texas House of Representatives.
“They came here from France over 10 years ago. So, that’s not even about gun control. That’s just about bullying somebody. So all of us decided we wanted to support them and let them know Austin loves them,” said Soltes.
The controversy started on Sept. 16 when Farago walked into the bakery while carrying a firearm. The establishment prohibits open and concealed carry, so when the owners noticed Farago’s gun under his shirt, they called Austin’s 311 service, which dispatched two officers to the location. After a few minutes at the scene, the officers approached Farago
