Diners confront Mitch McConnell at restaurant, get told to ‘leave him alone’ by others
Fox News ^ | October 20, 2018 | Adam Shaw

A small group of angry diners confronted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell at a restaurant Friday night, but were met with calls from other customers to leave the Kentucky Republican alone.

Video obtained by TMZ shows at least one diner berating McConnell on issues such as Social Security at a restaurant in Louisville. The video starts with him yelling at McConnell and arguing with Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao -- to whom McConnell is married. The outlet reported that four men first confronted McConnell.

“Oh yeh, why don’t you get out of here? Why don’t you leave our entire country,” the protester tells the couple.

As Chao argues with the protester, McConnell appears nonplussed and sips on a drink. But other diners begin yelling at the protester, telling him to “leave him alone” and making shoo-ing gestures.

“They’re going to come for Social Security,” he told the other diners, before appearing to be approached by staff.

Republicans need to start carrying Mace or some other kind of pepper spray.

It would be very unwise to try that with me.

" (ESPECIALLY if they are in a no Carry Zone) "

No 2A-savvy conservative should ever be caught in a NCZ restaurant -- when there are any other choices within driving distance.

"Right, that’s why i think we should not engage in that behavior. Im not overly pleased that Pelosi got the treatment she so richly deserved."

It's wrong to harass people in a public restaurant.

It's wrong to encourage others to do so.

No matter your color, nationality, gender, or which "side of the aisle."

This isn't complicated.

That would work, but at that range #2 shot or even #4 buck would be better.

God help us if you are wrong.

How on earth can Americans be so low, stupid and disgustingly ignorant as to put “Dems in the lead in key battleground races to take over House from GOP”?
Hmmmm?

These so called Americans are not our friends. Everybody we meet during the day is not nice, as parents tell children.

Dems who would sell us out to a thousand years of Communist tyranny in a new dark age are going to have to be dealt with. Soon.

We did not ask for this new civil war coming. The Dems, Media and Socialists with Soros did it.

Chao don’t play when these idiots accost McConnell. We ought to call her the “Tiger Wife.”

= = = = = = = = = =
That is the point I was making....referring to if I ‘can’t protect’ myself, you will get sued if you don’t....or something like that.

ALSO...

There is a reason it is called concealed carry.

Unless I see a detector etc, I carry.....

Like we say..better judged by 12 than carried by 6 - THAT used to be a good saying but a real crap shoot now.

"There is a reason it is called concealed carry."

Texas has "Section 30.06" signs (no concealed carry) and "Section 30.07 signs" (no open carry)

30.06 & 30.07 sign size, (big) wording, (bilingual) and format are prescribed by law. AFAIK, no other form of "No weapons allowed" signs are legally binding in Texas.

Businesses in Texas that voluntarily display them don't tend to stay in business long -- with the exception of a few hospitals/clinics and a very few banks...

I won't violate a 30.06 or 30.07 sign -- but I will take my business elsewhere, if at all possible.

I see,....

Restaurants/businesses can post their own signs and
Virginia just calls it trespassing and if asked to leave, no problem as long as you do.

Allowed to carry in restaurants serving alcohol but not allowed to drink if carrying...

I don’t drink (anymore) and tend to leave before the ‘heavy drinking’ starts....don’t need some drunk or butthead ‘forcing’ me to defend myself.
