Still, it does make one wonder why NRA would invite him to perform as an honored celebrity, when they knew -- they had to know -- that Keith had declared himself a supporter of "the most anti-gun president ever to occupy the Oval Office" back in 2008 when he praised Barack Obama, calling him "the best Democratic candidate we've had since Bill Clinton," and then honored Obama by performing at his 2009 Nobel Peace Prize ceremony in Oslo.
Quote from the article
"Im all about good people, licensed and trained, carrying a concealed weapon, Keith said in an interview. The bad guys are always gonna be carrying guns. There are so many guns in the US and so many bad people that do harm with em. If just one percent of the non-felons would go get their concealed weapons license and carry a gun where they can, one percent puts you in a pretty good position of being somebody that could save a bunch of peoples lives.
As Doc pointed out in post 8, "The restaurant is a privately-owned franchise, and those owners made that decision. Other Toby Keith restaurants allow open carry at those locations."
Natural consequence:
Open carry your belchfire (exercising your rights) into public establishment, frighten folks, signs go up.
Conceal carry your hidey gun and your CCW license (exercise your rights, stealthly) into public establishment, nobody knows.
Nobody knows, NOBODY KNOWS, nobody knows!
Personally, I got sucked into going to his restaurant in vegas... I think the bigger reason not to go there is the food and atmosphere. It's like an western themed version of all those other crappy corporate chain restaurants... chillis, applebees, etc. It was clearly not the place he was singing about in his song.
At the same time, it's important to remember that celebrities are rarely famous because of high IQ's. If you like Toby Kieth, good for you, but please realize he's a jukebox, you put money in, you get music out.
I happen to like Toby Keith and has probably been over to the sandbox more than any other celebrity. I think he is truely patriotic and does things for the troops without blazing it all over the media for publicity.
He has pubilcally said he never served his country, but respects all those that have.
He isn't involved in any part of that restaurant. So he doesn't have any say in it
