From 1979 to 1985 I worked (oil field) in Dagmar, Sheridan County, Montana, and the local saloon had the same sign. But I question the legal effect. The fact of the matter is that a public accomodation needs to have an overarching reason to deny service. Lack of shirt or shoes has already been shown in open court to be unenforcable because rules on strictly private property are one thing, but rules for public accomodation are another. In other words, the personal preferences of the business owner do not, and can not, disrupt the natural rights of the customer.

I know that others will disagree. That's fine, I'm not looking for argument.

My only point is that if the gentleman was denied service soley because he was wearing a kilt then I believe legal action would be appropriate. Further information indicates that Mr. Grant was not too put out because he said, {paraphrase} 'other places will be happy to have my business'. Quite right. My personal opinion is that we would all be well advised to take our business where it will be appreciated.
