People are getting more paranoid and less smart. [I Think People Can Be Real Idiots]

The day before yesterday, I was in a Kroger’s grocery store. I saw a fat white middle-aged man, not wearing a mask, but with a gun holstered at his belt.

Today, I was in a Wegman’s grocery store. I saw a slender Black woman wearing a mask, and with a gun holstered at her belt.

I’m not sure what I think about all of this. If it was up to me, nobody would carry a gun in any grocery store. But the woman at Wegman’s busted the stereotypes about the kind of people who do.

I've yet to see anyone carry a gun into a store in my area. But the way things are going, it wouldn't surprise me if I do see it any day now. People are mask-compliant, though. We have a state mask order in effect and many stores require masks as well.

@Rutterman Where I live, it’s not common to see guns in places like the grocery store. And people here are pretty good about masking up.

I think I’m just a little concerned, precisely because it’s not that common to see guns. I don’t want this to become common.

Maybe this will make me sound old, but I don’t care. When I was a kid, people didn’t carry guns every-damn-where. I liked it better then.
