Was at the mall a while today. I saw two people with open carry [View all]

pistols. One was a man with a "Let's Go Brandon" shirt and a "III" tattoo on his arm. The other a women dressed in
black wearing a black belt with several magazines and a "Fuck your feelings" shirt. They weren't together. Security
was nowhere to be seen.
