Waffle House Denies U.S. Soldier Service For THIS Sickening Reason According to recent reports, National Guard soldier Billy Welch was recently denied breakfast at a Waffle House for wearing his uniform and a firearm in his holster. Welch sat down at a table and ordered his food, when he was signaled over by a waitress. She told him that if he didnt surrender his firearm, he would not be able to eat at the establishment. You know, if I cant have my firearm, then I cant be here, Welch told the waitress. I dont feel comfortable taking my firearm away from me. I always keep it with me. An onlooker, Micaela Shaw, was shocked that Welch was being told to surrender his Second Amendment Rights, and posted about the incident on her Facebook page. I have a bunch of family members and friends who have been active military and in the military and retired and it hurts my feelings when people disrespect them, Shaw continued. Waffle House was forced to respond to the incident after outraged Americans began contacting them, but heres all they had to say: For many years we have had a no firearms policy in place in our restaurants, the owner concluded. We continue to believe this is the best policy for the safety of our customers and associates. What do you think of the incident? Is this just wrong?
