The irony of this is while the officer was being asked to leave there was more than likely at least one person carrying concealed setting somewhere in the dinning room.
Heck one of the last times I was in an Outback, I saw a lady open carrying a Ruger P95 in a serpa holster no less. No one even gave her a second look.
The manager was caught between a rock and a hard space. He had a crazy customer that was afraid and probably would make a huge scene if told to take a hike or presumably a more reasonable officer who would leave w/o incident and accept a $100 gift card. What is morally right is not always what is financially right for a moderately paid manager w/ a mortgage.

“What do you mean the policy applies to me?”

If I am prohibited from carrying there, why shouldn’t they prohibit cops who are not there on official business?

There are too many decent restaurants to go places where I am not wanted because I have a permit. Even more so if they pander to hysterics like this.

Those who operate that restaurant better hope they never need a cop after this.

“No exceptions for cops” is fair, at least.
