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.’”

We’ll if a cop came in while on duty then they should get refused service also. But I bet they don’t.
Didn’t like aweful house anyway…now it is in cement…
So…it’s their right to refuse service to whom they choose??? What about yhe Christian business owners who are now out of business for refusing to serve a gay??? What’s right for one, should be right for all…

Hey Waffle House, take your waffles and shove them where the sun don’t shine !
Idiots. Bless the soldier for his service and keep wearing that gun
I completely agree. Too many loopholes in laws these days
