Over the weekend, a soldier with the National Guard was told to leave his gun outside of the Nicholasville Waffle House or he wouldn’t be served. The situation is now getting national attention.
Billy Welch said that he stopped at the Waffle House Sunday morning for breakfast. He was in his Army National Guard uniform and had his gun holstered to his side. After ordering his food, Welch said that a waitress signaled for him to come over.
"I got up and I walked over to them, asked them how they were doing and stuff, and they said I'd have to take my firearm outside,” said Welch.

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.”

I smell a robbery in 3, 2, 1...
5.56mm
Their private property rights trump IMHO... that said, to heck with Huddle House (commie bastards). Not eating there ever if I can help it.
If we can refuse service to an individual that is exercising his constitutionally enumerated right to carry a firearm, then we ought to be able to refuse service to someone that chooses to be gay, which is not a right enumerated in the constitution.
Waffle House, not Huddle House.
Wife and I had breakfast at a Waffle House in Springfield years ago.
After writing our order down, the waitress called out to the kitchen, “Flip it. Dip it, Nip it and Clip it.”
We never did understand her code...
Right!
No conflict. His property, his rules.
The problem with the doctrine of "Rights" being when everyone has "Rights" nobody has "Rights."
A magician never reveals her secrets.
Mr Welch did the right move by going somewhere else. I would not eat at places owned by liberal gun haters.
Yeag it’s KY. Hard to believe but everywhere there are liberals.
I once ate at the Waffle House. Not eating at the Waffle House is not a right, it's a privilege.
If the Kentucky governor says the National Guard wear weapons on duty, then the guard base could post a list of the restaurants who would welcome them sidearms and all. When that Waffle House in question has a robbery, and an innocent person is injured or killed, the manager will have blood on his hands.
You think it's that simple?
There's a wedding cake baker you need to talk to to get up to speed.
Do they have a rifle holder, kind of like an umbrella holder?
Looks more like an intern wrote and edited the story.
Concealed and open carry are common in my area for handguns. You only see a rifle over the shoulder of people entering places like Sportsmanswarehouse to fit a scope/rings or other accessory.
That's just crazy talk!
You can't compare guns to reproductive rights!
Unless you are queer. Hypocritical.
