In the video he said that it was not appropriate to have guns in "a bar full of children." What sort of bar is he running here? He should have his liquor license removed.

After watching the news video, he's a bigger d-bag than his sign portrays.  Sanctimonious prick.

His twitter account cheered alcoholism. They probably aren't really strict on checking ID's either.

Want Guns With That? Chefs Find Politics Hotter Than Kitchen

CLEMSON,
S.C. — Pete Matsko expected a little pushback when he posted a
sarcastic sign banning concealed weapons from Backstreets Pub &
Grill, his beer and burger bar in this college town, but he did not
expect to become a national target.





Within
weeks, he was slammed with so many online attacks and harassing phone
calls that he changed his number and started asking the police to open
his mail.





A
new concealed-weapons law in South Carolina turned his pub into a
battlefield in America’s culture wars. Like an increasing number of bar
and restaurant owners around the country, Mr. Matsko discovered that his
politics can matter more than what he serves.





As
the position restaurants hold in American culture grows, so too does
the list of issues on which chefs are asked to make a stand. Refusing to
bake a cake for a gay wedding, requesting that a woman not breast-feed
at the table or trying to prevent a diner from wearing a gun can have
serious business implications.
"It’s
almost like restaurants have to have a political strategist on board
now when they put together their marketing plan,” said Andrew Freeman, a
San Francisco-based consultant to the restaurant and hotel industry.






Here's a better idea Mr. Freeman:  Don't throw broad-brush insults at large groups of people you haven't met.

Thanks for the update. I was wondering about this the other day. I doubt it has hurt his business.

Looks like we might have drove him nuts though...   (police opening mail)

Since when do the police come over and open your mail for you (at your request)?

No...a new law had NOTHING to do with the backlash. The backlash happened because the guy was an asshole and called people names, trying to pose as a bad ass.



Posers suck.

yelp is being incredibly aggressive with his account, being very careful to trim all negative reviews and pictures.

I have been there many a time.  Not surprised by the sign as that place is a favorite for the small hippy crowd in Clemson....and grad students.  It was always a welcomed change to the over crowded Frat heavy bars, more mature crowd sometimes.  Anyway, I have not been in years and it looks like I will not be returning.

you helped make them successful, lets hope that sign fixes that
