The robbery happened around 2:30 a.m. Thursday at the restaurant on U.S. Highway 29 in Newnan.

"I didn’t know if they had guns," Stanley said. "I didn’t know if they were going to their vehicle to get another one and could come back and try to get to the safe, so my instinct was to go to my car and get the gun."
