Pub Gets Crap For Banning Guns, Calling Pistol-Packers "Douchebags"

[SecularMotion]

Are the food and service any good at the Backstreets Pub and Deli in Clemson, South Carolina? I don't know. But I do know this: The bar's owner has big brass ones and no qualms about tussling with Second Amendment nuts.

At some point on St. Patrick's Day, one of the bar's clientele snapped a photo of the printed sign above in its window, and it subsequently went viral among offended gun-lovers. Here's the full version:

Before this morning, Backstreets had three Yelp reviews that averaged three out of five stars. Today, it got nearly 300 reviews from pro-gun nuts who either ventured cross-country to try the wings in Clemson, vomited, found the place unsafe and were driven to comment on Yelp for the very first time... or simply made some shit up to justify driving the joint's rating down to one star.

"Food sucks, over priced. Owners a blatant liberal idiot that uses the eatablishment as a cover for his meth lab in the back," one classy guy who apparently trekked all the way from Oregon writes. "I hope this business fails and the owner commits suicide."

1. Stupidity usually gets punished and being a dick pisses people off.

in a day of ubiquitous social media, this result should be been obvious to all.

2. Play stupid games

win stupid prizes.

3. Lessons in grass-roots activism, and ignorance of the Innertubes.

I don't like to see businesses get bombed like this, but I don't think I would visit a place where the owner has this 'tude.

4. Gee, it looks like it's signed by "Douchebag"

His mother must be so proud of her son the douchebag.

8. I was going to point that out.

5. Leave out the words loser and douchbags

and would it still be offensive? Would it be offensive on a private home?

6. no

the guy is being an asshole. A simple standard "no gun" sign or a "please leave your sidearm in you car, our security has it covered in the event of an emergency", would not have created the backlash.

10. Precisely.

The vast majority of CCW permit holders have no problem with a business owner exercising their right to choose not to allow weapons in their place of business. Their premises, their call. The oddball fringe that does have a problem with this right can fuck off. They're wrong.

9. Marketing 101 level: epic fail.
