Man who refused to wear mask in Utah clothing store threatened to come back with a gun

A Salt Lake City business closed its doors early on Sunday after a patron refused to wear a mask and threatened to return with a gun after he was asked to leave.

“I didn’t take it too seriously at first ... it’s such a crazy thing to say to someone,” said Stockist employee Josh Edgar. “But then after a minute I thought, ‘Wait, maybe he’s being serious.’”

The man had gone into the specialty clothing store, located at 875 E. 900 South in Salt Lake’s popular 9th and 9th neighborhood, without wearing a mask. When Edgar noticed, he asked the man to put on a mask.

“He immediately started yelling and swearing at us,” Edgar said. He said the man told him, “This is my country, I don’t have to wear a mask.”

Since when did it become his country and his alone? How selfish we have become. I am sick of the me me me. It is our Country and we are and always have been a diverse nation. We fuck it up over and over, yet it is all our country.

Well said! And this country also belonged to the over 500,000 citizens who died during this pandemic which wearing masks prevent from spreading.

to require patrons to respect a dress code?

No shirt no shoes no service.

Coat and tie for gentlemen.

No hats.

No guns.

Wearing a mask is no different.
