Man goes shopping with rifle at J.C. Penny

[quote]Cell phone images of a Utah man who went shopping with a rifle slung over his shoulder and a Glock 19c on his hip have gone viral on the internet, with some saluting his boldness and others questioning the wisdom of his decision. An Ogden woman snapped a few photos of a man standing inside a J.C. Penny on Wednsday nothing that even for a firearm-friendly state like Utah, it was out of the ordinary. "I've seen someone carrying on their hip or leg, but I have never seen anyone openly carrying an assault rifle," she said.[/quote]

    This might be an example of "just because you can, doesn't mean you should." Yes what he did was legal, but walking around with a rifle can scare people, especially in the era of mass shootings (when malls can be a target). People around him may also have been wary of accidental discharges, remember that five people were injured at gun shows on "gun appreciation day."
