That would be awesome, but no.

[11th Commandment]

I hope every First Responder, gun owner and Military Service Member and Vet in the area makes it a point to never eat there again. Let’s see how long they stay open.

Especially at a Waffle House.

Heck, there are some Waffle Houses where I think it is policy that if you go in after midnight and before about 6AM, and you don’t have a firearm, they issue you one.

Really bad for a restaurant with a Southern distribution. Carter Georgians.

[Tucker39]

A fine place to avoid.

[Arthur McGowan]

I will not enter any business that advertises itself as a risk-free shooting gallery for Muslims and other criminals.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

I wouldn’t eat there. Now all the criminals know where the guns are not. Anybody who is injured by somebody carrying a gun robbing the place needs to sue the owner.

[Rebelbase]

I agree. But its damn hard to find many places open at 2:00am.

[Sergio]

Great point.

[falcon99]

Did you just say Gay rights are reproductive rights? Seems you missed the birds and bees lecture somewhere along the line.

[papertyger]

Dood!

If Muslim can be a race...

P.S. Thanks for biting the hook ;)

[AFreeBird]

But if he exercised his right to refuse to cater a gay wedding, the outrage would be deafening.

“The owner of the Nicholasville Waffle House made this statement, “For many years we have had a “No Firearms” police in place in our restaurants. We continue to believe this is the best policy for the safety of our customers and associates.”

What a POS.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

You got that right.

[robowombat]

I wonder if they refuse to serve LEO’s armed in uniform?

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Hilarious.

Google “Waffle House Robbery”, and there are page after page of stories of how robbers invade Waffle Houses.

Apparently the owners of the chain have a problem with pattern recognition.

[Chgogal]

The Soldier should have asked if their policy applies to armed criminals as well?

[catnipman]

Incredible publicity! Now all the bad guys know this place is guaranteed to be a gun free zone and easy pickins!

[WayneS]

He was in his Army National Guard uniform and had his gun holstered to his side.

This is hardly the same as a private citizen open-carrying a firearm in the restaurant. Does Waffle House make police officers leave their firearms outside the restaurant?

In any event, I will not be eating at any more waffle house restaurants any time soon. They have a right to their anti-gun policies and I have a right to spend my money at establishments that respect me and my family.
