Man goes shopping with rifle at J.C. Penny
[quote]Cell phone images of a Utah man who went shopping with a rifle slung over his shoulder and a Glock 19c on his hip have gone viral on the internet, with some saluting his boldness and others questioning the wisdom of his decision.
An Ogden woman snapped a few photos of a man standing inside a J.C. Penny on Wednsday nothing that even for a firearm-friendly state like Utah, it was out of the ordinary.
"I've seen someone carrying on their hip or leg, but I have never seen anyone openly carrying an assault rifle," she said.[/quote]

2 RepliesI see people with rifles slung and pistols on their hip relatively frequently. It's about as common as seeing... let's see, what would be something with a similar frequency? I see more hats than guns, but more guns than watch fobs, certainly more guns than monocles. Still trying to think of a good comparison based on likelihood of seeing it.... Less guns than bald heads, more guns than canes. I don't know. I can't come up with an accessory, tool, carry item that has a close commonality to firearms, but of the things that I've named, none of them (including the firearms) tend to get more than a passing glance or sometimes an appreciative nod (if the observer happens to like what they see). Seeing a firearm in public doesn't cause a panic, outburst or clamor around here.
