A social media post about an armed soldier who was refused service at a Kentucky restaurant is going viral.
Billy Welch is an Army National Guard soldier. Welch says he always keeps his gun holstered to his side for safety reasons.
Welch says around 1:30 a.m. he stopped at the Waffle House in Nicholsville wearing his military uniform with his gun by his side.
After ordering his food, he said 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. I don’t feel comfortable taking my firearm away from me. I always keep it with me and they said, ‘it’s one of our policies.’”

The place hopefully will have a grease fire and burn to the ground. That would probably save a lot of people from high cholesterol, heart attacks and food poisoning.
Still stupid. Boycotting wafffllehouse. RESPECT FOR THE UNIFORM
I don’t do stupid. Waffle House, that was stupid not to serve a soldier in uniform. Rules need to broken sometimes. You can bet he would protect you, if necessary.
The Waffle House is HISTORY…!
