Arlo Kinsey was working behind the carryout counter at RJ’s Bob-Be-Que Shack in Mission last week when a middle-aged man dressed in a red Make America Great Again hat — and no mask — walked through the door.

“I asked him if he could wear a mask, since it’s what Gov. Kelly told us to do,” said Kinsey, 18, who was working shifts at the barbecue joint this summer before heading off to college. He had dealt with a handful of customers who refused to wear masks inside the restaurant despite the statewide mandate — but none like this, he said.

The man said he had an exemption to the mask order: He then lifted up his shirt, revealing a gun in a holster on his hip.

2. His "exception" is might makes right

and the safety of everyone else be damned.

That sure sounds like a threat to me, flashing his gun as a way of forcing staff to bow to his will. It's of an ilk with armed robbery.

The link won't work for me, so it has me wondering: has this jackoff been arrested yet?

3. this is a new one for me...

But recently, the mask debate has merged with another divisive political issue: gun laws. Memes have circulated widely on social media, with the false claim that wearing a mask “removes your concealed carry ability.”

There is no federal law that bans someone from wearing a mask while legally carrying a concealed weapon. And while concealed carry laws vary, law enforcement officials in many states have debunked the claims, according to multiple fact checking organizations.

brandishing a concealed weapon in this manner may violate the terms of the concealed carry permit

6. Not what I would call a "well-regulated militia"

I'm sure the founders would throw up a little in their mouths if they knew how their constitution was being abused.
