Stopped by for their pancake breakfast. As I sat quietly reading my book and waiting for my breakfast I was approached and told I'd have to leave because they don't allow firearms. I asked if they were serious, then picked up my stuff, got my money back, and left.
Before I left though...
"Excuse me. Could I have everyone's attention please. I am being asked to leave because I am carrying a firearm. Apparently at the VFW, an organization devoted to those who fought to defend our freedoms, I am not welcome to quietly eat breakfast and read a book if I am exercising my Second Amendment rights. I think that's pretty disgusting. Have a great Memorial Day."
The old fellow in charge didn't like that I was speaking out and threw in his own "with a gun" a couple times but the rest of the room was dead silent.
I won't be back.
