A Papillion restaurant has nixed a gun rights group’s plan to dine while displaying firearms on their hips. The group had arranged to eat dinner Thursday at Texas Roadhouse at Shadow Lake Towne Center. But the restaurant’s managing partner, Steve Jackson, said Tuesday that the group wasn’t clear about its intentions and was no longer welcome if the participants openly wore their firearms.
“I want to feed people — not have a circus in here,” Jackson said.
Nick Crawford, the group’s organizer, said the restaurant expressed concerns about liability issues and general complaints.

Don’t forget- grocery stores, malls, Wally World... Everywhere. It is as common as wristwatches on most people here at the top of the state. Out-of-staters may get their knickers twisted, but that is their problem.
I had a great Dallas filet in that very place in March.
Indeed. I see many folks around Pocatello practicing
open carry at restaurants. Nobody really cares. I opt
for concealed carry except when hiking.
Isn’t there an adage that an armed society is a polite one?
Let the homos be arseholes. 2nd Amendmenters shouldn’t be.
Huh!! They put them selves in this position when they denied letting these people participate in a perfectly legal and morally right activity. They have every right to do so but their business is dead to me!! Sorry but when it comes to the second amendment I simply don't compromise my rights away!!

The manager of that TR has the authority to do what he did but may have suffered a great deal yet to come when CCW folks no longer go there.
“Texas Roadhouse” means “The Butterfly”? In what language?
It all began on February 17, 1993, when Kent Taylor opened the first Texas Roadhouse in Clarksville, Indiana.
Yep, about as Texan as New York City Hot Sauce. We ate there once in 1999 and have never been back.
Hmm. Not sure where that came from..
Nebraska actually has a very conservative populus, with a possible exception of a small portion of Omaha and surrounding communities.
We have lots of good land, lots of good, decent people, and a very good conservative pro Second Amendment attitude towards firearms.
Instead of putting us down, why not come up and see us sometime? It is a pretty nice state, and you, being from Texas, should feel right at home pad'na....
The headline might be confusing. Texas Roadhouse is the restaurant, and it's in Papillion, which is derived from papillon, French for "butterfly."
I understand what you’re saying but if we start caring about the wacko’s they win. The second amendment should mean something and I don’t patronize any business that does not support that right. Like I said they can do what they wish but I’m through with them!!
Despite the manly name of “Texas Roadhouse”, this pansy establishment originated in IOWA. I’d rather have a hot dog from James Coney Island than give my money to these phonies.
Thank you for de-confusing me.
