Tech student wearing gun in Wal-Mart arrested

Good. Glad they arrested him.

I am entirely fine with him being arrested, prosecuted, fined or jailed.

From the article: He was asked to leave the gun in his vehicle because he was scaring customers, and when he refused, Ruston police arrested him on the loitering charge.

Once you are asked by the people who work in the store to remove yourself and/or your weapon, failing to do so is a crime.

The time and place to take it up with the property owner was not in the store, and not while armed. He was given an order to vacate and should have done so. The time to take it up with the store owners was later. He could have boycotted, written letters, protested, picketed. He chose to break the law.

Failing to respect the property owner's right gets no sympathy from me.
