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.’”

That was his own personal weapon that he was unable authorized to wear with his uniform. He than went into a civilian establishment that can “refuse service to anyone at anytime”, violated their company policy and than tried to act as if it’s their fault. Military are supposed to SERVE and UPHOLD civilian rights and laws. Not create their own. This gentlemen should be njp’d but due to the media attention. It’s doubtful he will
Won’t ever get my money!
People should Refuse to eat , at this Waffle House, no customers, no business.
WHAT?!? Fukem NO ONE SHOULD EAT THERE!!
But if you say it’s private property, why do some situations apply and others don’t? To me, the second addresses pretty much the whole of the United States. I didn’t know there were stipulations for private property.
Everyone in there should have stood up and walked out with them.
Not in my town they won’t!!!
