I guess we should be getting used to these juvenile displays of machismo lunacy by now. Remember the political events a couple of summers ago when teabaggers were toting their assault rifles to the rallies, just in case someone needed to see how manly men behave in public? It was a reminder to everyone else that insecure people have to keep a crutch handy, and it made a lot of people very happy.
A woman shopping at a J.C. Penney store in Riverdale, Utah, was surprised to see a young man come into the store carrying an AR-15 assault rifle for an accessory. She took a couple of cell phone photos of the guy, a 22 year old who had notified police in advance to let them know he was going shopping. He also had a Glock 19c on his hip, for good measure, because only a complete fashion diva carries an assault rifle without a Glock before Easter.
Heavy sigh...
Maybe we should start a movement in which people carry Nerf swords and Nerf dart guns around with them in public. Or cushy pillows, just in case a pillow fight breaks out.
Here's the character I thought of when I saw those photos:
"Take it easy, Leonard..."

Utah is fucked UP, fer shure ... but Let's not forget how fucked up they are in TEXAS(Yaa-HOO!):
"A bank in the small Texas town of Chappell Hill is inviting customers to bring in concealed handguns because it has been robbed five times, “all of them by Yankees.”"

Well, Beej, you know the last time Yankees came down here stomping around we sent them packing...
Wait... actually, they killed about a quarter of a million of us, ruined our economy, and took three-fifths of our "hired" help home with 'em.
Nevermind.
