Gold Member Kivalo Posted February 5, 2018 Gold Member Share Posted February 5, 2018 Its a privately owned business, if they don't want firearms in their establishment then you cant bring firearms in. This shouldn't be difficult to understand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully support a business choosing whether or not they want guns but an on duty or uniformed cop?

Bad PR at a minimum. I'm sure cops would love if the world was safe enough where they didn't need to carry.

Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted February 5, 2018 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 5, 2018 Outback sent us a statement saying, “We’ve always allowed uniformed law enforcement officers to carry their sidearms inside our restaurants. A manager made a mistake and we have discussed this with her. We have contacted the guest personally and apologized.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainecat Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Kinda sad this happens but there are many shootings from bad cops that make the public feel threatened. They should have move either party to another spot out of sight of each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This shouldn't be difficult to understand. Would you say the same about a blind person going into Outback with their guide dog? In your opinion do they have the right to be a guide dog free zone? I don't know what the law is there but they sure can't do that here. As for the other diner being afraid for their life.... that person should be locked up for their own protection... that person is nuts. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a law here as well, service dogs are allowed pretty much everywhere. The simple fact of the matter is this cop was not there on official business, he was a a guest. That means the company may direct him to follow their firearm policy, regardless of how stupid it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
