Title: An Open Letter To Toby Keith in Reference to His Gun Stance

Dear Mr. Keith:

I’m deeply saddened by your current stance banning guns in your new restaurant. By doing so, you are creating victims! Victims because patrons who wish to carry a firearm to protect themselves and those they love, are now completely defenseless. You’ve now effectively forced law-abiding gun owners to frequent other establishments that actually care about their safety.

I’m not only speaking as the GRAA President, but also as a fan. I have never committed a crime aside from a minor traffic violation, I have my own family, and I carry a firearm wherever I go. In all of my years, I never have had to even present my firearm (aside from my earlier career in law enforcement), and I hope I never do. But if the need arises I have the right to defend my family, as do ALL law-abiding Americans. Mr. Keith, I don’t believe you can actually be stupid enough to believe that criminals will obey your silly little sign. So I implore you to re-consider your restaurants policy. Until you do, I will boycott you and I’ll encourage America to do the same.

Respectfully,

Eric Reed

Gun Rights Across America, President/Founder

One of the best comments I saw posted to this article:

Troubleshooter

Actually, I don't believe that he has a Constitutional Right to take away someone else's Constitutional Right without Due Process. He solicits the presence of the public with his business, and he takes money from them. He does not offer armed protection of their persons and property while they are in his restaurant, Who the hell is he to tell anyone else that they cannot engage in their lawful actions? Nobody, really. I was a fan. Now I'm not, nor will I ever be again. Toby, you just stepped on your own dick and put a boot in your own ass. I'll spend MY money at Chik-fil-a.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toby_Keith

His family name, "Covel", is a British "variant spelling of Covell"[52] and means "habitual wearer of a cloak or perhaps a metonymic occupational name for a cloak maker."[53] If, however, the name was originally "Kovel", it is an Americanized spelling of a "Germanized spelling of Slavic Koval".[54] If this is the case, then "Covel" was originally "Ukrainian, Belorussian, Czech dialect, and Jewish (eastern Ashkenazic), [and was an] occupational name for a blacksmith, from the vocabulary word koval."[55]

Whether Keith is perhaps Jewish is unclear. However, his family tree does not go beyond 1849 on WARGS.com[56] or the 1700s on Ancestry.com,[57] and Tracey R. Rich of JewFAQ notes that a Jew or a gentile of Jewish descent is "not likely to simply log onto Ancestry (or even JewishGen) and find a comprehensive tree listing [his or her] family back 300 years, as some gentiles do."[58] If Toby Keith is Jewish, he would be the second widely known country singer of Jewish descent. The first would be Kinky Friedman.[citation needed

I don't know what his lineage is and really don't care but he shot himself in the foot with that stupidity.

Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.

Patrons should go elsewhere. If he doesn't want Sig to join me for lunch, then I will find a place where Sig is welcome. Simple.

Has Mr.Keith never heard of how it went for Suzanna Hupp and her family while dining at Lubys cafeteria?

Toby Keith, hate his music and would rather eat a liverwurst on rye in my car than patronize his greasy spoon.

I agree. What I would like to know is, how does he plan to enforce that edict unless he has metal detectors at the door? Personally, I wouldn't set foot in his place because I would respect his right to run his business as he sees fit but that doesn't mean I think he has a right to deny my right of self defense. If I chose to eat there and wanted to carry I guess it wouldn't be a problem because I doubt very much he will have a metal detector at the door and most certainly won't have goons there frisking people.

She is the lady who left her gun in the car out of respect for their policy of no guns, right? And her mom and dad got killed? I remember some of the story but it's been so long I know I may have "misremembered" some of it.

So I take it that unless we are in the middle of the Zombie Apocalypse you won't be patronizing his fine establishment? LOL!

Your memory serves well.

Her book, From Lubys to the Legislature tells the story and a 'tube search has tons of videos.

It was a shame what happened there. And I am sure that with the benefit of hindsight she would have stuck her gun in her purse and not worried one bit about their policy.
