Vietnam Vet Kicked Out of Restaurant Because of Reloading Shirt
Imagine if a man was asked to leave a restaurant for wearing a Gay Pride shirt. Or if a women was refused service because she was wearing a headband with a #MeToo message. The mainstream media would be in a frenzy. The incident would make national news. Liberal politicians would be holding angry press conferences, and CNN talking heads would be loudly demanding new legislation.
But guess what, there is another kind of discrimination in our society, a form of intolerance that the mainstream media actually emboldens — hatred towards gun owners. Intolerance towards those who support the Second Amendment — even those who have served their country in uniform.
Recently in Maui, HI, a restaurant manager demanded that disabled Vietnam veteran Jimmy Barber and his wife leave the establishment solely because Jimmy was wearing a shirt that said “Ultimate Reloader” and included a logo with the outline of a cartridge between the letters U and R.
Jimmy Barber served in Vietnam as a Navy Seabee “in-country” from 1970-71. He now suffers from heart disease because of exposure to agent orange. And the Maui eatery demanded that he (and his wife) leave the premises simply because his shirt said “Ultimate Reloader”. That’s despicable.
Isn’t it ironic that this intolerance occurred in Hawaii? Were it not for the sacrifice of American service men and women in the Pacific during WWII there is a good chance that the Hawaiian islands would no longer be part of the United States.
In a letter to Gavin Gear of UltimateReloader.com, Jimmy revealed: “My wife and I are in Maui. We were asked to leave a restaurant because I was wearing one of your t-shirts. I did not make a scene and I was very proud to leave.” Jimmy, by the way, is a dedicated pistol and rifle shooter who reloads a dozen cartridge types.
After learning of this incident, Gavin Gear contacted Starline Brass. Starline has decided to send Jimmy 250 new brass cases — just a way of saying “thanks” to Jimmy for his service to his country.
How to Stand Up for Your Rights
We all need to do our part to preserve our gun rights. Gavin Gear has collaborated with The Gun Collective on YouTube to explain what we can do to preserve our gun rights. Gavin states: “I do appreciate everyone out there in the gun community that is fighting for our rights. We need to stand together! And thanks Jimmy for ‘representing’ Ultimate Reloader!”

I truly believe that in the future people will look back at this time in history and say the liberal left were the Nazi’s of our time. Their fundamental beliefs may not be the same yet they share the same level of destruction, you could argue even worse. They have completely confused and weakened our youth to where just about everything is offensive. They are busy destroying the sovereignties of countries to where national pride is branded fascist or by not having open borders is cruel and racist. They have created a system of victim politics opening healed wounds to enforce their agenda. They belittle anyone who oppose their views and brush off criticism by saying they are too stupid to understand who and what they are voting for. The left are loud and aggressive giving the impression they are of majority when actually they are the minority. Yes they may have the main stream media to push their beliefs but what they fail to understand is that they DO NOT have the numbers. I believe common sense will eventually prevail, it is growingly evident in the polls across the world.
What is the name of the restaurant?
Name and shame
It would have been interesting to see what the police report said after the mgr and I engaged in a little close order drill…
Yeah, what’t the name of the restaurant?
I’d like to know the name of the restraunt also. I’m not going to HI anytime soon but if it is anywhere local that I could boycott It should be known. Things are really sucking (Pelosi!) lately and we have to squelch that!!!!
What we used to do in Vietnam for bars that were taking advantage of the troops for overpricing their drinks is that we’d get a large number of fellow tropps to go in there, buy one small beer and sit there all night nursing it. They couldn’t kick all of us out.
