Opinion needed visiting new grand baby here in Louisville (thank the Lord),


Yesterday was shopping for beer at the Kroger. The man next to me was wearing a mask (good) but carrying a semi-auto pistol on his hip (bad).

When you see a person openly carrying a gun in public do you feel:
1. Alarmed
2. Relieved
3. Ambivalent

Not that it mattered to me - I feel alarmed - but the masked man was white. I do think if more black men carried weapons openly, we would have the NRA supporting gun safety laws.

I also do not know why a place of business would allow armed people to enter their property, but it may be Kentucky law.
