A 28-year-old man has been charged with pulling his licensed gun on another man who questioned why he wasn’t wearing a coronavirus mask in a Florida Walmart. Vincent Scavetta, of Lake Worth Beach, was arrested on two felony charges, according to Palm Beach County deputies who announced the arrest on Twitter Thursday. “Welcome to PBC Jail, son. Let this be a lesson. It could have ended badly,” the tweet read.

Why was the gun wearing a mask?

[Dubh_Ghlase]

I don't frequent any establishment that requires a facemask, and will react poorly if challenged for not having one in a place that does not require it (like in my house, my car, or the Great outdoors).

Don't like it? Then please Social-Distance yourself somewhere else....!

One more reason never to visit Walmart.

Scavetta was accused of aggravated assault with a firearm and improper exhibition of a firearm. His bail was set in the case at $15,000.

“Why was the gun wearing a mask?”
