A uniformed officer carrying his service weapon was asked to leave an Outback Steakhouse restaurant because it is a designated “gun-free zone.”

Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency officer Andrew Ward went to Outback Steakhouse to have dinner with his wife Friday evening, he wrote in a public Facebook post.

Ward said in the post that a manager approached him and requested that he put his gun in his truck. Ward told the manager that he could not because he was in uniform and had to have his weapon on his person.

The manager left to make a call, Ward writes, and then returned to ask Ward and his wife to leave because Outback is a “gun free zone.”

“When I see a gun-free zone” sign, I turn around and leave. I vote with my wallet every single time I can.”

Please consider telling management why you are doing that. It will have a greater impact.

I thought Outback had a motto like “no rules, always right”.

You telling me they got some rules now?

The manager left to make a call, Ward writes...

She probably left to call her wife, to ask for her advice.

Before doing so, I advise the manager of the reason they will never again get my business.

“...Ward said the chain told him “there was another customer that was ‘scared for her life’ who was seated across” from the couple, and said “she was afraid because ‘police are shooting people.’”

According to Ward’s post, “This customer went on to demand to be escorted to her vehicle out of fear of being shot.”...”

She should have been asked to leave, not the policeman.

Why would a corporation put a sniveling snowflake in charge of their income stream? Naw, I’ll just go to Texas Roadhouse or Longhorn.

"requested that he put his gun in his truck."

A dangerous request. Gun are stolen out of cars all the time.

Liberals ruin everything.

From that article you posted:
Ward confirmed on Facebook that the chain had apologized. He said he was told another diner was “scared for her life” because “police are shooting people.”
Yep, some lib snowflake complained to the manager.

This is all on the media for ginning up cop shootings without context or even all the facts. This woman sounds like a BLM stooge or some fiend who is planning a lawsuit for distress.
