Rifle in J.C. Penney Store Attracts Attention

A guy who brought a rifle in a J.C. Penney store in Utah had attracted attention with the customers.

The shopper, 22-year-old Joseph Kelley, wanted to demonstrate that rifle guns can be safe in the hands of law-abiding citizens. He said to the The Salt Lake Tribune that he was carrying an unloaded AR-15 and a loaded Glock 19C handgun.

“I felt no negative vibes from anyone,” Kelley told the Tribune. “I think it went rather surprisingly well.”

He said he carries weapons with him in order to protect children and others from “criminals, cartels, drug lords” and other “evil men.”

One shopper said “He was in the wrong place and shouldn’t be doing this at this location.”
