If you don't know the difference there would be no point in trying to explain it to you

After reading all the updates in addition to the article, the article left out TONS of info. The article even had an update that they had info incorrect about the guy with the gun.

If a restaurant has a no gun policy, then that's the policy. Suck it up buttercup. Waffle House has had several incidents in different states with nutjobs fighting and shooting up the place.

No good can come from a guy with a guy at 2 am who was in a fight 2 days before at the place and was escorted away by police.....He was given a choice. Remove the gun or don't. So what was the problem?

When was the last time a wedding cake was used to murder or cause physical harm to someone? Shoving wedding cake up your new spouse's nose doesn't count.

MacGyver could've done something with it.

I agree gun owners are a protected class under the 2nd amendment. A no guns sign is no different from "no colored" or no cakes for gays.

If you are in business you are in business to serve EVERYONE.

Because it's not about any policy, it's about this one guy who had to be physically restrained and removed from the restaurant by cops the week before...the lack of logic, as well as listening skills, astounds me.

1. It is PRIVATE PROPERTY and a safety isue.

2. It is a matter of DISCRIMINATION. "Gun carriers" are not a protected class nor should they be. If you need a constitutional right to understand the concept of not discriminating, see "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness."

BS.

Why not just make Gingers a protected class too?

Or smokers?

Or ugly people?

Or A-holes?
