KCPD officer says Olive Garden wouldn't serve him
http://www.kmbc.com/news/kcpd-officer-says-olive-garden-wouldnt-serve-him/35784882A Kansas City police officer said he was denied service at an Independence Olive Garden restaurant because he had his gun with him.
In a Facebook post, Michael Holsworth said he went into the restaurant at Highway 40 and Noland Road to wait for his family to arrive. He said an employee told him that guns weren’t allowed in the restaurant.
“I am in full police uniform and on duty,” Holsworth wrote. “I actually thought it was a joke.”...
“Now I never in my wildest thoughts (would’ve) thought this would happen in the Kansas City area. I see it happening all over the United States to other officers but never thought it (would’ve) happened to me,” he wrote.

I don't see the problem here. He obviously wasn't breastfeeding. Nor did he have a pit bull with him. Was the gun smoking?
