Bill Davis Jr. is an advocate of pulled pork and pistol permits.
Beginning today, the Athens barbecue restaurateur is offering a $1 discount to customers who present their pistol permit when ordering at Hickory Barn Bar-B-Que at 10047 U.S. 72 West.
The offer isn’t just a cheap appeal for customers, Davis is an authentic proponent of concealed weapon laws.
