A restaurant based in Indianapolis, Indiana, allegedly asked one of its customers to leave for wearing a necklace containing a large cross.
Jerry Bond, who patronized Kilroy’s Bar N’ Grill with his minister and a few friends, claims a bouncer asked him to remove his cross necklace or leave the restaurant.
“The bouncer comes back over, really bad attitude, [and says] ‘We’re going to ask you to either tuck your necklace, remove it or you have to leave,” Bond told WRAL. “I’m not going to tuck my cross in because of my beliefs. I believe in wearing this cross and what it represents.”
The restaurant reportedly has a sign posted outside the entrance that bans patrons from wearing large chains hanging outside their shirts.

Jack Dorsey apologized for eating at Chick Fil-A???
Well, now, I’m 51, but I just might have a decent shot at 20-something women, since many men their age are probably puss-pusses like Jack Dorsey, sadly. Not that I would want them to be that way.
It’s about personal items that could be used as weapons. It’s not about the religion of patrons.
Remove the chain. Now wrap it around your knuckles. Or twist it and swing it at a person. Better yet get it around another person’s neck.
To make rules that you hope will keep crime down you have to think like a criminal. Obviously this area is familiar with some people using chains as weapons.
Must?
Where did you find that law?
“”Chain Free Zone”? WT heck?”
People who wear big chains like that are usually gangstas or gangsta wannabes. I have no problem with an establishment making rules to make them not want to hang out there. If you get rid of 99 troublemakers and one nice Christian guy gets caught in the net, oh well, tough luck.
“But then, lots of people esp. those in entertainment wear the Cross as jewelry.”
Yeah, I’m guessing not a lot of people in “entertainment” frequent this area of Indianapolis. Except maybe some “aspiring rappers”.
““aspiring rappers”.” The ones that are turning their lives around and headed off to college next fall? ;-)
Why? Its a free country still, is it not?
If property rights were still respected, the owners could be as bigoted, anti-Christian or anti-anything else and customers could go elsewhere if there didn’t like it. Just like smoking.
“It’s to keep gangs and wannabe’s out.”
Then, change the sign to say “gangs and wannabe’s not allowed”
The chain and cross are just fine, but PLEASE, put on a SHIRT!
