“Why would the owner close up....”
Possibly because he didn’t want to go through the same stuff that happened to the cop in Ferguson or the community protection guy in Florida after they had to handle an attack by the liberal media while they were being exonerated legally by the state and the feds. The man may have decided it just wasn’t worth the death threats, the damage to his store and personal property, the threat to his family along with his name and reputation, that was created by the lib media to use as a tool for taking guns away. He probably didn’t feel it was worth it. Yet is always happens.
I still haven’t forgotten what they did to Richard Jewell, using the same tactic.

Exactly. It wouldn’t be worth the stress or legal fees to convince the morons out there you did nothing wrong. After “debating” some supposedly college-educated “friends” on this subject today, I’m pretty much ready to don my hairshirt and head to my cave in the woods.
