It does not matter why he took the gun into the store. Its an open carry state and as long as the store does not post a sign at the entrance barring open carry of weapons in the store then he is perfectly within his right to do so, without having to justify it.

It was essentially completely hidden. Only about six inches of the barrel covered with a sock visible below the jacket.
So was his identity by his hoodie and mask. I am betting this gangster is a felon carrying illegally.
My posting a possible ‘reason’ WHY the gun sock, coat and ‘open carrying’ in the store is just that - a possible explanation.
Further, ‘open carrying’ a gun/rifle like that (i.e., attempt to conceal for whatever reason) could be construed (by some leftist LE/DA) as concealed-carry and many state open-carry laws don’t cover that unless there is a concealed carry license. I know there’s a difference wrt that in my state.
You can take the laws for what they are, stupid or not, but there they are...
