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.’”

I worked there in 2000, worst job ever.
BOYCOTT
This was an open carry issue not a veteran military issue, don’t mix the two and use veterans to serve a different agenda. I’m for open carry by the way but this is using veterans for a purpose other then his actual veteran status. And why do it? Because people support our veterans and won’t question your real motives. Just come out and say what really happened, Waffle House bounced someone for legal open carry, lets boycott them for that issue which I’m all for doing.
Boycotting Waffle House !!! End of their weak business.
Is it just that one and if so where is it located so i know not to go? Im sure all of them dont do it. I hope not anyway. People are so messed up these days.
Boycott all Waffle House restaurants.
Shame on waffle house ! CAN YOU SAY BOYCOTT! Wake up America!
I agree, boycott the Waffle House.
um… I was refused service back in 2010 at a waffle house for looking “colored”. This was 8pm at night. Mind you I”m 50 shades of white with a big nose
