Mooks with guns
by digby
Does this make you feel safe?
This is at a JC Penney. When we had open carry in California I occasionally saw some mooks, usually in a group, descend on a Starbucks or a mall and it would always scare the hell out of everyone. Conversation would stop, a lot of us would move away or leave. After all, it was impossible to actually know whether they were “bad guys” or “good guys.” That’s why the police wear uniforms. (And even then …) I always thought it had to be bad for business. Probably not the crazy man with the arsenal who’s planning to gun down a bunch of strangers, though.
Gotta Laff has this particular guy’s story.
