Man raises questions after carrying rifle into JC Penney

RIVERDALE — Pictures of a man carrying a rifle inside a big box store in Riverdale are raising a lot of eyebrows. The woman who took them tells KSL the man had no business bringing the gun where he did.

It was supposed to be just a regular trip to the JC Penney. Wednesday night, Cindy Yorgason was in line to return something when she saw a man with some pretty heavy fire power.

"He had the assault rifle over his shoulder," Yorgason said. "He had a handgun on the right side of his belt along with at least one additional clip."

She got out her phone after she said "a couple of other customers started to raise their eyes and look at this guy like, ‘Is he crazy?'"

She never felt threatened, but she believes a place like JC Penney is an inappropriate place to bring a weapon.

I doubt if there has EVER been a psycho killer who wore a yellow shirt.

It’s J.C. Penney’s property. If they prohibit guns, it’s their right, as unwise as some of us think that is.

Oh, look at that dangerous pistol grip and fore grip, and the scary banana magazine! And the dangerous black color!

He’s just provoking a reaction. Obvious an attention starved person looking for 15 minutes of fame.

THIS NEEDS TO BECOME THE NORM!

The Left constantly attempts to normalize deviant behavior such as homosexuality and child rape while demonizing lawful carrying of arms as "deviant."

This is the farthest thing from deviant, and this gentleman should be applauded for exercising his right!

Folks, if you can open carry in your state, double-check your laws before doing so, but openly carrying a rifle and a sidearm SHOULD BECOME THE NORM NOT THE EXCEPTION!

He probably wanted to know if they would waive the late charge on his last statement. I am inclined to think that they did...

Good for the dude!
Yellow shirt, to me represents “Don’t tread on me”

I think people should get used to seeing guns everywhere.

>>”Is he crazy?”<<

Apparently not as crazy as Barack Obama.

From the available evidence, it appears that the JCP gun carrier has killed many, many fewer innocent people than Barack Obama.

“She never felt threatened, but she believes a place like JC Penney is an inappropriate place to bring a weapon.”

Good thing it was “tied down” on that guy’s back. Otherwise, it may have jumped off his back and chased her around the store. They’re just that mean and scary...

To be fair, the proper matching protocol is socks to slacks and belt to shoes.

He’s STILL not in compliance, but I wanted to make sure that was clear.

His belt does sorta match the desert khaki magazine though.

Probably was asking how to find JCP's advertising agency.

(And thanks, dayglored, for saving me the trouble of challenging this particular FR headline.)
