A convenience store in Sauk Rapids, Minnesota, about 70 miles northwest of Minneapolis, has endured two robberies in the past three months. In an effort to increase foot traffic to his store, the owner is offering a discount on gas for law officers or people with a concealed-carry permit.
This week, the owner of the Shell station posted a sign on its door offering 10 cents off per gallon of gas for law enforcement or people with proof of a permit to carry guns. The discount is good every day after 7 p.m. Owner Frank Schwagel tells WJON-AM (http://bit.ly/1Q23JtV ) he hopes the promotion will increase foot traffic in his store during evening hours.
