Cops can't carry their guns in Denny's!

[Que]

I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but to laugh at this.

Uh, I uh, I don't know what to say. Blind emotional response to current events?

 

[cobber]

Some 'manager' is gonna be looking for new employment shortly.

Maybe gun owners everywhere should boycott Dennys, just to make a point. (Except criminals, of course.)

Let Diane F. and her ilk take up the slack in business.

 

[Ripper]

I bet the response time to that Denny's is going to be... VERY long!

I'm thinking that manager is now gainfully employed by the Obama unemployment system

 

[Frank_N_Stein]

Their food sucks anyway, so no loss for me to not patronize them until their policy is changed. And not just changed for LEOs, but for all those carrying legally.

Man, this totally undoes what that one commercial they run did. Too bad I dont have a Dennys in Fort Wayne to boycott.

From the story...

“It’s absolutely a slap in the face I totally agree it’s completely disrespectful. How can anyone think to tell a [STRIKE]police officer[/STRIKE] licensed, law abiding citizen you can’t be in here with your gun its absurd to me.”

Fixed it for them.

I'm not familiar with Denny's policies: are they a no go place for LTCHers?

 

[pudly]

I've eaten there quite a few times without incident, both CCing and OCing. As stated in the article, they have a policy against exactly what happened. I'd say it was a manager making up the rules as they go. Doubtful the manager will be there much longer.

Just don't already go here Azar's Big Boy Restaurant in Fort Wayne, IN | 6800 Bluffton Rd, Fort Wayne, IN. I believe they are part of the same corporate asshats.

I don't think anyone goes there anyway!

 

[TTravis]

There is probably more to that story. Maybe the manager had a bad experience with LE, possibly involving his firearm. Who knows.

 

[BehindBlueI's]

Well, in Denny's defense a second manager told them they could stay and Denny's didn't actually ban them from coming back, their own brass did.

Sounds like an isolated case of one idiot manager.

 

[LockStocksAndBarrel]

The Belleville PD doesn't like being told that they can't OC in plainclothes. Imagine that.

They need to hide their guns because they were scaring people and they didn't like that they were told to conceal or get out.

Poetic.

 

[SPUTTER]

We have a new Denny's here in Bedford, have not eaten there, but I think 1 manager is hitting the street and finding another place to go.

 

[Hogwylde]

I think the manager did the right thing. If they aren't going to let law abiding civilians wear guns into the resturant, they shouldn't allow ANYONE to wear guns in there. Why should cops be exempt from the rules that WE all have to abide by. Rules are rules and cops don't get special treatment!

That being said. The rule is STUPID and should be abolished.

I also think that if "assault weapons" and high capacity magazines are banned, that the cops shouldn't have them either. Let's see how THAT fly's when the cops are disarmed too!

 

[edporch]

If I can't carry a gun in Denny's, the police shouldn't be allowed to either.

Absurdity answered with absurdity!

 

[beardedbrodel]

This explains why the Denny's on 86th and Michigan is always getting robbed!

 

[GMtoblat]

THis is my favorite line: "Officers will go to Denny’s if they receive a service call" Cause i sure as **** wouldn't. I would even go find a criminal and tell him to hit up that Denny's, then be able to say "oh you want me to come save you?"

 

[NIFT]

Looking at the badge shown, the license plates and being from St. Louis, I am fairly confident it was Belleville, Illinois, not Missouri.

Illlinois should explain much of the hysteria; although Belleville is a long way from Crook County!

I dont normally oc but was coming from the range and had my s&w m&p .22 oc with my regular cc g19 both. Went to Dennys on xmas eve in Dale In. with all six kids and wife amd nobody said a word. Not sure if anyone even saw it to be honest though. The only time I actually oc is when im on my way to or from the woods or the range so I felt a little exposed while at Dennys but no biggy I guess. Didnt know they have any no firearm policy.
