MANASSAS, Va. (CBSDC) — A server at Buffalo Wild Wings refused to serve Prince William County police officers because they had their guns displayed.

The Manassas Park Patch reports that the employee wouldn’t serve them despite the plain-clothes officers showing him their badges. The server reportedly told the officers that it was a gun-free establishment.

Yes Ma'am, sorry about those robbers that held your Wild Wings franchise up. We would'a stopped them, but ya see, they had guns, and you don't want us around with ours...

Yeah, not exactly smart. Looks like I’ve watched my last sporting event at a BWW.

What are they afraid of? Are there pet dogs at BWW?

I’ve never eaten at a Buffalo Wild Wings. And I suppose I never will.

Part of me likes this. Kind of a sticking it to the man/equal protection thing. Part of me hates it: Oh those icky scary guns!

Good server.

If it’s a policy for you and me then why not for the cops too?

Yes, it did. That was somewhere in Illinois if memory serves me correctly.

Is that a company-wide policy, or is each franchise free to set its own rules?

A couple of shots over the head of the employee and the cops could have the whole buffalo not just its wings.

I am staging a personal boycott. Love their wings but wing joints are a dime a dozen.

That being said, if their business goes down the tubes, I hope all employees hold that waitress responsible and never let her forget when they lose their paycheck, insurance, cars, homes and standard of living.

Me too.

On the one hand, the guns aren’t going leap out and kill someone.

But on the other hand, it reminds me of the way firearm manufacturers are refusing to sell to state governments or agencies who deny their citizens their 2nd Amendment rights.

Still, I wouldn’t deliberately antagonize the police any more than I would deliberately antagonize a person who is preparing/serving my food. It’s just not a good idea.

At least they are applying their asinine policy to Gov’t as well - in that regards, I’m glad they did it.

It sounds like it wasn’t even the individual store’s policy. (I mean the policy not to serve police for a firearm.) A server just knew that there was a “no guns” policy and didn’t understand that laws don’t apply to police.

A victim of public education shows the folly of the system on accident. I love it!
