Waffle House Refused to Serve an Armed, Uniformed U.S. Soldier
 

The company has a strict no gun policy.

This past weekend, an armed member of the U.S. Navy was denied service at a Waffle House restaurant in Kentucky. According to a local NBC station, when officer Billy Welch ? who was in uniform ? sat down for a meal at the Nicholasville location of the 24-hour chain, he was told he'd need to disarm or leave the restaurant.

Welch, who had his firearm holstered at his side when he walked in the door, was only asked to leave after he'd placed his order and the server noticed the gun. When she asked him to leave his gun outside, he refused. He later told the news station, "You know, if I can't have my firearm, then I can't be here. I walked inside to the other waitress. I said, 'thank you, but no thank you ma'am. I'm gonna have to leave.'"

Fuck them

Their restaurant, their rules. Mr. Welch does not pay the rent there. As a former Marine, I never expected to receive any privileges while in uniform.

just great this guy has a flashback sees you as the taliban or some shit ruins your meal :1orglaugh:1orglaugh :helpme

Big drama, national news for sure - an important event.

They have no gun policy - He left - No problem that I can see?..

What's the world coming to when you can't take a firearm to breakfast with you?

I understand they have a no firearm policy, but they should make exceptions for police officers and our military.

"thank you, but no thank you ma'am. I'm gonna have to leave"

Very polite soldier ......

you look very young :helpme:helpme

This is how I feel. "uniformed soldier" is a lot different than if they had told a uniformed police officer that he couldn't wear his gun.

Look who learned to milk the system ..... attention seeking little twat.

Armed terrorists should not be allowed in waffle houses :2 cents::2 cents:
