The employee was able to put down a block to stop the entry and grab her gun, but by then the suspect left. Chapel is making sure her employees can defend themselves if it happens again.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A couple of them bring handguns every day, no matter what shift it is. There is always a gun here now,&#8221; she said.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ms. Chapel also makes sure there is a firearm present at the coffee shop at all times. Many of her employees have their Washington State carry permits.<\/p>\n<p>Local police have no problem with the employees of JitterzJava being armed so long as they are 18 years old and have a clean criminal record.<\/p>\n<p>Owners such as Sara Chapel should be applauded for being concerned enough about their employees to encourage them to take their self-defense seriously.<\/p>\n<p>H\/T <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/375750402494637\/permalink\/596365290433146\/?stream_ref=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Polite Society Podcast<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JitterzJava in North Spokane, Washington was robbed three times last month.
