Police Banned From Denny's Restaurant After Manager 'Harassed' Detectives Over Guns

Dupe, Denny's have since apoligized and the officers have permission to return to eat there....

The new caption reads, "and that the restaurant's policy allows law enforcement officials to carry weapons" I can't think of a place, other than some courts, that do not allow law enforcement officials to carry weapons on there property - Can anyone stop a law enforcement official from carrying there handgun on there property?? Under federal law law enforcement can carry from state to state even if that person is retired law enforcement. I want cops with guns at my Denny's late at night.

It's called private property, and unless they are in the pursuit of their legal duties, then they can be asked to leave. And as far as your federal law statement for police officers carrying state to state.....no such thing. They generally get the go ahead as part of being in the club, but...

If you think I'm wrong, post the applicable section of federal code, and I'll apoligize and admit I was wrong....

Thought Denny's had done it AGAIN!

Thought Denny's had done it AGAIN!

I know, right?

I was about to make up a new trophy/award to present to the store.

On the face plate it would read:


Troll Level: Master
Category: Gun Control

The figure on top of the trophy would have been a waitress beating a cop with his own nightstick....

He is actaully correct. Federal Law enforcement saftey act of 2004. Public Law 108-277, which put into effect 18 USC 926B.
".....qualified law enforcement officer" the "qualified retired law enforcement officer" -- to carry a concealed firearm in any jurisdiction in the United States, regardless of any state or local law to the contrary, with certain exceptions....

It's the job of the police to protect. It's the job of Denny's to serve.

I agree with Taun Taun, but for Pete's sake let's apply a little common sense. I hope that Denny's suffers a little pain in exchange for poor judgement.

Sorry for the dupe, I even did a search. It's like a game trying to find "news" for INGO.

Okay, having read this more completely now.....

Seems to leave a lot of this to the state (rightfully in my opinion), BUT....

Here's an example:

Illinois has no conceal or carry program for non-protected classes such as we.
They frown upon cops from out of stay carrying their weapons in ANY form.
Cops hassle other cops in this way (I've not see it personally, but a buddy who is a cop....yaddayaddayadda...)
Cops have had their weapons confiscated....


In the end...

I apoligize. I was wrong.
Not the first time Illinois did something it wasn't supposed to and called it legal.

So if you are an out of state officer carrying in New York and you have 8 rounds.....

Actually, the highest courts have held in numerous cases that the police have "no affirmative duty to protect" individuals against crime and/or violence. In fact the police are reactive rather than proactive. In other words they are there to arrest individuals after they commit crimes, not to protect you from criminals.
