An unidentified, middle-aged man wearing a red "Make American Great Again" cap entered RJ's Bob-Be-Que Shack—a restaurant in Mission, Kansas—without wearing a mask, something required by June 29 executive order issued by the state's Democratic Governor Laura Kelly. When a 17-year-old employee named Arlo Kinsey told the man that the customer needed to wear a mask, the man said he had an exemption to the governor's order, lifted up his shirt and revealed a gun in the holster upon his hip, according to the Kansas City Star. Kinsey interpreted the man's gesture as a threat and wondered if the man was actually going to shoot him.
"All we're asking is that you wear a mask for a couple of minutes," Kinsey told the publication. "We could have taken your order outside if you didn't want to. But you go into an air-conditioned area without a mask on, and if I tell you to wear one, you're going to shoot me? Wow. I make $8.50 an hour, plus tips—for this?"

This happened about a little over a mile from my house. The kid Arlo went to high school with our kids and ran track and cross-country. He is a good kid.
This asshole with the gun is by no means representative of a typical Trump supporter, but he is representative of the remaining douchebags out there that refuse to wear a mask indoors in public places.
