Thanks to MissMagnolia for the tip.

What troubles me is that there hasn't been a response from Toby Keith. The only response to all of this has been from the restaurant citing non-existent laws. Since he hasn't said a single word on the issue, I think that it's safe to say that he's on board with the ban.

From the article: “If the actual owners and management of the restaurant choose to not have patrons in an open carry state bring their guns on the premises I don’t see this as being much different than enforcing a dress code at upscale dining establishments.”

The author is full of s***. Of course there is going to be fallout to this. The gun grabbers are dancing at the thought of being able to show how someone who sings about guns won’t even allow them in his own restaurant. Whether he owns the restaurant or not.

In addition, this is not a “dress code” issue. Its a question of whether the restaurant respects its patrons right to protect themselves. Note that the sign prohibits firearms, period. It doesn’t clarify as “no open carry”, it bans them. So, the question for the patron becomes one of do I change my plans or disarm? While it’s not quite as offensive as posting a sign that says “No blacks allowed,” it’s in the same league.

I’m amazed at the lengths some will go to excuse the bad behavior of others.

Isn’t he a big Obama fan?

I’m sure they had to pay the country legend a fee to use his name and the name of his tune to market their eateries. Keith is not the owner and isn’t making policy for seating arrangements.

Never put your name on anything you are not willing to take responsibility for.

Hope all those people who were dissing Keith with their knee jerk reactions are now walking around with bloody noses.

I would think that if one was going to make a derogatory comment about a person or some other subject that they would at least have an inkling of what they were talking about.

It’s no wonder so many conservatives are branded uneducated hillbillies. Either that’s what we are or there are a lot of trolls posting on the forum.
