Obviously the Wyoming manager and the facebook spokesperson aren't in agreement on the subject.
But please note that in 2013, there was no legal way to carry in Belleville Denny's without a badge.

Denny's
January 3, 2013 ·

As a company, we are as upset as you about the recent misunderstanding at our Belleville, IL restaurant. After a guest raised concern about an individual with a firearm in the restaurant, our manager approached the individual and communicated that Denny’s policy does not permit firearms in the restaurant. Upon further discussion, we became aware the individual was a plain-clothed police officer. Denny’s policy permits law enforcement officials to carry their firearms in the restaurant and we have reminded all of our restaurants of this policy. Denny’s supports local law enforcement and the hard work they do on behalf of all of our communities and we sincerely apologize for this misunderstanding.

Many Denny's are franchisee owned. Some are owned by anti-gun douchebags (like Lansing). Some are owned by less anti-gun folks.

I carry a gun because a Police Officer is too heavy.

So Corporate rained on our parade when they caught wind of it.

Is that store owned by Denny's or is it a franchise?
