Asked to leave: Al's Cafe-Bethel Park

**JohnM** · June 30th, 2011, 07:52 PM

I went to Al's Cafe in Bethel Park tonight for dinner with my sister and her boyfriend. The owner approached me and asked if someone was carrying a firearm. I was open carrying and said that I was. He asked me to put it in my car. I told him that if it went in the car that I would be leaving as well. He said fine and escorted me to my car and watched me drive away.

Thank you for standing up for your (and OUR) rights, while still respecting the property owner's right to set his own policy.

By the time you guy's get through with them, Al is gonna be pissed and may rethink his policy. You did the right thing, rep sent.

i looked at their website. they trumpet that they have over 14 high def tvs. why? i dont go to a restaurant to watch tv. also why would they say over 14? does that mean 15? do they not know how many tvs they have?

if they dont know what they have in their restaurant i wont eat there.

Message sent, wonder if he/they will reply.

*edit to add* - they have a live twitter feed on their page. If anyone has a twitter account they could post something on their site. Just a thought.
