‘NO GUNS’: PATRONS STUNNED TO SEE RESTRICTIVE GUN SIGN AT PRO-FIREARM COUNTRY MUSIC

A sign on a restaurant door that reads “No Guns Permitted” isn’t likely to turn many heads at most restaurants.

But when the other, bigger sign heralding the name of the establishment reads “Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill,” you can bet a few feathers are getting ruffled.

And indeed that’s one of the biggest reactions since the country music star’s restaurant opened last week in Woodbridge, Va., a Washington, D.C. suburb about a half hour south of the nation’s capital.

The big sticking point is that gun-rights advocates note that Virginia law lets citizens enter restaurants and bars with openly visible weapons;

This Toby Keith character sounds like just another airhead rock star.

Are they going to be frisking at the door? Concealed carry means you can’t tell if someone is carrying! IT’S CONCEALED!!!!

“The other said Obama is the best thing since Clinton.”

Well, to be fair, he said the best Democratic candidate since Clinton, which boils down to basically “better than Al Gore”. Still a stupid statement, but maybe not as stupid.

In Woodbridge? I know where it is, maybe 1.5 miles from where I am now. Will avoid.

Dixie Chicks??? Didn’t they do “Walk Like an Egyptian”?? ;-)

They’re deader than Toby Keith to me.

But , the brat, Natalie is trying to make a comeback...solo. lol!

She had to go into counseling (her friend, Howard Stern suggested it) because of what the country fans did to her, “the victim” according to her very few supporters.

How is her solo career going, you might ask?

Mother is the first solo studio album by American singer Natalie Maines, best known as the lead vocalist of the Dixie Chicks. It was released on May 7, 2013 with sales of 56,723 copies as June 30, 2013.

It’s a private business that has a right to conduct affairs in their best interest.

And you have the right not to patronize said business.

Exactly right.

Woodbridge is outside the beltway, between Fort Belvoir and Quantico Marine Base. Quantico is also where the FBI Academy is located.

“Not many states permit concealed carry in an establishment that is 51% bar.”

In Virginia, we CHP holders are allowed to enter such places, but not to drink. This restriction DOES NOT apply to any law enforcement official, however. Go figure.

Sometimes you can tell just by looking at a person that he/she is a douche bag. Toby looks likes one.

I live in Nashville and have had occasion to learn things just around town which never get any further. I don’t listen to a lot of talk radio, but when Sean Hannity’s show opens with the clip from one of his songs, it gets on my nerves.
