If you intend on robbing one particular coffee joint in Spokane, Washington, you may get more than just a shot of espresso, because the baristas at Jitterz Java in the town's northwest are now packing heat.
A number of robberies and attempted robberies already this year have prompted the move. The latest one caught on CCTV wasn't successful. But it's why Krystal Coggswell and staff want to keep firearms on full view for customers, day and night.
Coggswell say she has a concealed carry permit for the revolver she keeps by her side and says her customers are mostly fine with the new policy. Moreover, she says she's been around guns her whole life and knows how to handle one but didn't say whether she'd use deadly force if faced with a hostile coffee lover.
