Pictures of a man carrying a rifle inside a big box store in Riverdale are raising a lot of eyebrows. The woman who took them tells KSL the man had no business bringing the gun where he did.

It was supposed to be just a regular trip to the JC Penney. Wednesday night, Cindy Yorgason was in line to return something when she saw a man with some pretty heavy fire power.

“He had the assault rifle over his shoulder,” Yorgason said. “He had a handgun on the right side of his belt along with at least one additional clip.” Click below for full story -

In most civilised countries a man with a gun in a shopping mall would be arressted or shot by the police!

They way it should be

Is this how America wants the world to see us?

As a gun riden country where people take rifles to the mall?

Is this how we are paying our respects to all the children that have died due to maniacs with guns?

Is it appropiate for young children to go to the mall with their parents and see men talking around with rifles and hand guns?

Dont you think american kids are going to grow up being messed up if they see this as normal?

What a joke!
