Fernandes spoke with owner of Big Bear, who did not give his name.
He said he hired and off-duty deputy to help enforce the mask policy at the store.
After Monday’s triple shooting, he said he may not allow customers to carry any guns inside the store anymore.
“How come they carry all the guns in a public place like that?” he asked, calling the practice “bad.”
Couple things here.
1) The article implies that the reason that the customer shot the cashier was due to mask policy. If you disagree with a businesses mask policy / dress code / etc, there are other retailers who you can shop at. A store employee requesting you either put on a mask or leave is not an imminent threat of death or bodily injury. I personally believe masks should be voluntary. If a person does not wish to wear one, they should not be forced to.
2) The owner thinks that putting a sign on a door will keep people like the one above from harming others? He already showed he has no respect for other people or the law by SHOOTING someone over something as trivial as a store mask policy.
I'm sorry, but I just don't understand the logic of people who think that if they pass another law, or make another rule that the bad guys will follow that one.
Rant over!
The part about banning guns is even more ridiculous when you consider that this guy didn't have a gun on him at first. He left the store, got his gun, then came back in and started shooting. When he decided to enter the store with his gun he had already decided to commit murder. I highly doubt thatg a "no guns" sign would have changed his mind at that point.
