    Default It's for the Children

    WILLIAMSBURG, Va. -- Rachel Holley loves going to Busch Gardens. She enjoys the Williamsburg theme park so much, she buys an annual pass so she can make unlimited visits each season.
    But that tradition may be coming to an end after a recent incident at the park.
    "I felt like a criminal," the 24-year-old Virginia Beach woman told WTVR after a security guard would not allow her into the park last Friday.
    The issue, she was told, was her t-shirt.
    "[I was told] if a kid were to see this shirt, they might think that guns are OK," she recalled.

    She probably doesn't own a gun but at least she thinks.

    Guns are OK. They're a problem if they're misused. The same goes for beer.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    They don't allow a t-shirt in the park with the word "handguns" on it. But they'll allow stupid in all it's various forms inside. Typical.

    Bound to be some sort of discrimination or freedom of speech law suit in this thing somewhere. Maybe she'll be the proud new owner of the place when it's all said and done.

    Years ago I drank a few at their October fest area and was not too family friendly with my drunken since of humor.

    Dress codes for theme parks are not new. 46 years ago I was with my DeMolay chapter and we were on a group visit to Disney Land and the staff did not want to let me in because my jeans had a 1" hole just below the knee. Our chaperone explained the situation and that we had come a long way and they relented and let me in for that visit.
