The Guy Who Banned Concealed Weapons Has A Concealed Carry Permit

 

Backstreets Pub & Deli in Clemson, a South Carolina pub, posted this sign:

“NO CONCEALED WEAPONS ALLOWED,” the sign warns. “If you are such a loser that you feel a need to carry a gun with you when you go out, I do not want your business. Douchebag.”

And here is the shocker:

The owner of the pub, who would only give the name Pete, describes himself as a conservative Democrat, not the “big-ass liberal” people are painting him to be.

Pete told The Washington Times that he’s a big supporter of gun rights and has had a concealed weapons permit since 2001, but doesn’t feel guns have any place in a college town.

“There are cops everywhere. Cameras everywhere. Guns have no place here in a college town,” he said.

As far as the sign, which was apparently only temporary, Pete said he regretted the language he used.

I’m sorry I used that language,” he told the Times. “It just came out wrong because I was frustrated.”

“If it wasn’t so sad, it’d be funny,” he said.

 

What is sad is that a gun owner and concealed carrier who claims to support gun rights would turn against the letter and spirit of the 2nd Amendment with such a hateful sign. He should know better, that’s what’s infuriating about this bastard.

In fact, what do college towns have in common? I say they have lots of inebriated young males looking to cause trouble, if that’s not reason enough to allow concealed carriers, so we can fight the drunken football player that had one too many, I don’t know what is.
