Great! Now I can cover that event. The only problem is that I had heard rumors about Baileys being Anti-Gun. "No way" I said...the Tea Party wouldn't promote a business that had contempt for the rights and safety of Virginia Citizens.
Like Hell they wouldn't and they did!.... Look for part two for the story about the Tea Party.
I walked into Baileys and there was NO SIGN. I had been told there was one. What there was though was a cute little bar type girl, who told me that firearms weren't allowed.
WHY, I asked?
"Because Virginia law prohibits firearms wherever alcohol is served" she answered.
I told her, she didn't know what she was talking about, that Virginia law prohibited the concealed carry of firearms in establishments like this. Open carry is legal. She said she'd get the Manager, and swished off.
The Manager came to the front and I asked why firearms weren't allowed, same answer. That's not true I told him. Then he said he had called the State Police and they told him that. "Let's call them now", I said.
Then the story changed to his legal department had called them. I repeated that Virginia law only prevented Concealed carry.
It was time to wiggle so he started being RATIONAL....sort of.
"Suppose I have a customer that has had too much to drink and you walk by. He grabs your gun and starts shooting. This is for your safety".
It was getting deep and I was sick of it, so I explained that if his customer had too much to drink, the Pub was in violation of ABC laws and if his customer grabbed my gun, he was the criminal, not me.
He didn't like that answer and said" I can refuse to allow entry to anyone I want".
Well praise the lord, he finally told the truth about something. He can and I support that right to the end. That doesn't mean I think it's right and I won't spend a dime there. I encourage every law abiding person in the state to stay away also. Bailey's thinks a lot more of drunken criminals than, they do of law abiding and sober, patrons.
Bailey' is definitely on the DON'T GO THERE LIST !
good work peter. seems like support is swelling all across the nation for tea parties and other means of letting washington know that we are not the silent majority we once were. keep on tuckin'
