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.
Scott Lupton, general manager of the Manassas Buffalo Wild Wings, apologized for what happened

LOL - good on Nachum...
The BWW in Fredericksburg Va has a sign on the door announcing that guns aren’t allowed inside.
Most likely, some young 17 year old hostess had to make a decision and made a poor one.
Buh bye indeed.
The only time I’ve been in a BWW, since they first opened in my area, was to stick a “No guns == no money” card in their door.
More years ago then I care to admit I worked at a local convenience store the local LEO’s would always stop in either right before or right after shift change for a soda and sandwich. One nigh a local thug decided to rob the place just as two of the regulars were pulling in. Worst timing ever. They caught him one yard over and he ended up spending the next 18 months in the gray bar motel. We loved seeing those guys come in at what ever hour they showed up guns and all.
What became of the days when businesses offered LEOs free samples?
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 policeHere in Minnesota, we have a posting provision, for businesses who want to exclude carry permit holders. Buffalo Wild Wings posted compliant signs the day the law passed, and has kept them up still. One of very few businesses to do so.
I agree. I hate that place. They ask you “you want sauce?” Sure. “You want celery with that?” Sure. Then you get the bill to realize the sauce and the celery are like four bucks extra!
They have the best onion rings in the world.
Nachum, If a law-abiding citizen can;t carry a firearm in there, neither should the cops.
Payback is a b****.
With all those loaded chicken fingers around there and someone is worried about 2 handguns.
I agree. No smart business owner pulls the crap this place did.Next, we shall see a “Wingding.” I was telling my best friend in 1975 that we’d soon see someone sell water. He agreed. He was a tax attorney, and; John Michael M. was smart as hell. He looked at me dead in the eye and said-”We will see a building shaped like a chicken wing.” I almost fell over as he said-”They will call it the Wingding.” Well, he was right about chicken wings becoming a big deal.
Sadly, he died.
Not a fan of “no gun” places.
But good for civilians, good for cops.
Hey, gun free is gun free. If I can’t conceal carry, neither should the cops unless they’re there on official business. Eating lunch isn’t official business.
Kind of what I thought. Kind of a twist on the we won’t sell cops guns citizens can’t own.
Interesting. I do not remember seeing the signs about a gun free zone when I frequented the one in Crystal City while strapped.

Ate there one time with hubby and kid. Kid and I got food poisoning.
Will never go back. Have Archie Moore’s. Now they make good wings.
This is the company that has a TV ad mocking and portraying an all-white male basketball team as not knowing how to dribble a basketball or make a shot.
