"This week, Seattle scoop shop Molly Moon’s Homemade Ice Cream posted signage on its Capitol Hill shop window emphasizing that it’s a 'gun free zone,' and calling attention to that fact to police officers. The no-gun policy isn’t new — Molly Moon’s has had it in place for the past seven years — but the mention of police on the sign is a recent development specific to this location. According to owner Molly Moon-Neitzel, the sign was in response to an incident in which a businessman from California came into the Capitol Hill store on Friday and ordered $500 worth of ice cream specifically for local cops who have been patrolling the area, then alerted officers to pick it up at the store. This resulted in a sudden influx of police coming into the shop, which put the staff, who were wary of the presence of so many armed officers, in an uncomfortable position." - Gabe Guarente
