Walk into the Cajun Experience on Loudoun Street in downtown Leesburg on a Wednesday night, you are sure to be greeted with a smile and the smell of authentic food from the Mississippi Delta.
Glance down around the customers’ waists, and you will likely see a firearm.
This is Open Carry Wednesday, the day at the New Orleans-style eatery when patrons are encouraged to bring their licensed firearms, and they’ll get a 10 percent discount on their meals.
This was the brainchild of owner Bryan Crosswhite, who started the special four weeks ago. Crosswhite is a native of Lafayette, LA, and said he has worked internationally as an economist, including in the Middle East.
“I’ve seen what the restricting of freedom is all about,” Crosswhite said. “It’s our legal right to carry. I want it to be [my customers’] right to carry in our restaurant.”

What's a licensed firearm in Virginia?
I have no dog in the fight2nd Amend Sunday's @ Real wood Amish Furniture in Ruckersville.
Come in on any Sunday barring your legal firearm and be entered into a drawing to receive an Oak rocking chair, you also qualify for a 15% DISCOUNT ON ITEMS ON THE SHOWROOM FLOOR.
NFA firearms would probably be as close as one would come to a licensed firearm here in VA, since one must have their paper work with the firearm.
Heard a pro personal defense spot on the radio regarding Real Wood Amish Furniture.
The wife and I had been meaning to stop by, now I had another reason.
As I entered the couple leaving asked about my firearm (G20) and the husband told me they both were carrying Bi-Tone Sig 239's, and showed me his.
The Owner of RWAF was super nice, showed me his EDC a G17 and confirmed the radio ad (see below), they have real nice furniture.
I have no dog in the fight
Carrying inside on days other than Sunday is welcomed, as is OC/CC.
Sure NFA firearms fall within that classification but the context pointed to sidearms and that is why I asked about the term "licensed firearms" as it related to the article.
Good encounter for you at that furniture store. Nice to see that, but it does not surprise me at all. I have yet to have a bad experience with a business when OC'ing.
