Q. Why would someone need a handgun to buy bread? 😳

[underpants]

[Wellstone ruled]

1. Just another day a your local Walmart.

Notice the Yuppy food in the cart.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

3. Juice and chips are yuppy food? nt

[Wellstone ruled]

7. Those are not Lay's chips

and Kerns is not a bargain Juice.

[cwydro]

14. So if I don't buy a bargain juice, then I'm a yuppy?

Wtf?

Can’t read the shelf tags, sorry, but the lighting doesn’t look like a Walmart.

[Blue_true]

48. Whenever I want a burger.

I buy them from Walmart. It is the only place to get a steakburger patty without a hassle, and the quality is good. I have bought hamburger buns, tomatoes and onions for the burgers at Walmart. The section where the lady is at looks exactly like the section at the Walmart that I buy burger patties, bread and some produce it. The section of the store has bread racks that look like what the lady is at, a bakery that sells fresh baked stuff (the round ceiling area in the picture, produce bins and stand alone displays like in the picture, and refrigerated produce. Looks like the Walmart layout that I have seen.

She looks like a Walmart customer where I live, Walmart here attracts a broad range of wealth classes, I often see highend luxury vehicles at the one that I have gone to.

As far as the usefulness of her gun. She is better off running for one of the store exits near where she is (believe me, I pay attention to exits when I am in any public place), there are several near her. If she choses the gun, unless she is a markswoman or gets lucky, she is a dead woman if she takes on someone armed with an assault weapon.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

26. Lays are shit, though. Kettle brand is definitely better.

They sell them everywhere. 711, Walmart, Subway.

What’s yuppie about that? Also, yuppies were the 80s. Those guys are all 50-60 now. Not exactly young urban professionals anymore.

[cwydro]

5. Yuppy food?

Huh? Juice? Potato chips?

Doesn’t look like a Walmart to me, but what do I know.

[Wellstone ruled]

8. Check the shelf tags.

[pintobean]

21. That's not Walmart

And, do you even know what yuppy means?

[cwydro]

38. I always saw it spelled yuppie lol.

But spot on, pinto bean, that woman does not fit the definition of a yuppie!

[pintobean]

41. You're right, my bad.

And, Walmart doesn't fit in the definition, either.

But, that's not Walmart.

[kimbutgar]

2. Is this Arizona?

Saw an old guy In the supermarket there with a holstered gun standing in line. I would not make any eye contact with him. I would have left but my son with autism needed his bottle of water otherwise I would have walked out.

[a la izquierda]

36. Could be PA.

My sisters live there and I'll be damned if there's not someone looking like they're auditioning for a Spaghetti Western every time I go to Wegman's. Scares the shit out of me (and I live in WV...)

[RobinA]

50. PA Does Not

have open carry.

[a la izquierda]

54. Then explain that...

To the men and women I’ve seen with guns on their hips in grocery stores and the mall. Because I see it all the time. And I’m fairly certain I know what a gun is.

Upon checking, PA DOES have open carry, though localities can restrict it.

[sl8]

59. It appears to be in Brentwood,CA, ca. 2010.

[Thomas Hurt]

4. Conservatives are special people and special people always have enemies....

not to mention the alien lizardmen, the deep state, illegals, socialists, Jews, gays, the poor, commies, hippies, vegans, atheists, liberals and the brown folks wanting to take their freedom.

[underpants]

6. Oh come on. You're being ridiculous

you didn't even mention the ANTIFA

[Thomas Hurt]

9. oh fiddlesticks, you are right.

[leftyladyfrommo]

22. Don't forget soul killing women. nt

[Ilsa]

42. You forgot that they need a gun to

stop brown people from getting healthcare if they don't produce a birth certificate and two forms of picture ID first.

[marble falls]

10. Just in case a Christmas sale breaks out.

[KentuckyWoman]

11. Savage

Matthew Dowd is an artist.

[mokawanis]

12. I wonder how many times she's actually needed to use that gun.

My guess would be.....zero.

[world wide wally]

13. Flour power

[Hoyt]

15. Insecure and paranoid people, racists, sickos, hero wannabes, bullies, etc., carry guns everywhere.

[Arkansas Granny]

19. And showoffs.

[leftyladyfrommo]

23. Around here KCMO it's mostly showoffs.

I have never seen anyone that I knew was carrying . I would say most people around here would not like to see guns at Walmart.

[smirkymonkey]

28. +1000

People like this make me sick. The fact that they feel like they need to carry a gun with them everywhere makes them mentally ill by definition.

[zackymilly]

16. Looks like she may be wearing a badge on the other side. Police officer? Parole officer?

Is so, she doesn't want to leave her sidearm in her vehicle, or take it off and lock it up in the trunk.
A co-worker of mine's wife works as a parole officer and has to do checks on people all times of the day and night when their ankle bracelets are cut or the battery power is low. She has to go to some bad places at night and she wears her gun this way.

[Owl]

18. Probably her phone.

[melm00se]

24. Serpa type holster

not a level 2 or 3 retention holster so may not be a LEO

[DVRacer]

31. Nope not a chance

The belt is too small and as pointed out above wrong type holster. That is a cell phone on the other side.

[Flaleftist]

32. It could be a holster for additional ammo clips. nt

[struggle4progress]

17. "I might see somebody with Skittles and an iced tea!"

[Hoyt]

20. Definitely true for a big percentage of gun-toters.

[zackymilly]

25. Don't forget the loud rap music. People get shot for that too. n/t

[at140]

27. A new fashion trend

inspired by Don the Con?

[secondwind]

29. She's looking at white bread....

[TEB]

30. Carbs are killer

[KY_EnviroGuy]

33. She's in big trouble....

the dark pumpernickel is about to attack on her left flank......

She may get wheat rolled at any minute....

I refuse to lower myself to comment about the buns........

[USALiberal]

34. Paranoid Gun Nut? nt

[aikoaiko]

35. There's a decent chance she is former military.

She is carrying a 1911 -- the venerable choice of the military for many years and is again.
The firearm is condition 2 or 3 (3 was military).

And most importantly, no apparent massacres as a result of her carrying her firearm in Wal-mart.

[canetoad]

37. She's planning

To steal their dough?

[underpants]

40. ✅

Well played.

[hunter]

39. Gun fetishes are disgusting.

It's funny how these folks would never openly carry a gun in places that are actually dangerous.

Carrying a gun just makes you a target.

[davsand]

45. The threat of a parking lot attack is used to "sell" carrying to women.

My brother and his wife are both conceal carry instructors as well as NRA lovers (don't even ask how holidays go in my family!) They regularly take tactical weapons training classes. My SIL is some kind of local board member in a group that promotes "well armed women" and my brother actually does expert testimony in cases defending somebody that shoots somebody else. They don't leave the house without carrying at least a gun and a knife. Not entirely sure how a retired lawyer and a retired grade school teacher living in a town of <5000 got this terrified of the world, but they are.

One of the many disturbing things about my brother and his wife is the videos they promote that feature unknown assailants attacking unwary women in parking lots or at gas stations. the whole schtick is that you are alone. You are vulnerable. You NEED a gun. That is how they promote the fear. It's revolting.

I've had a life a privilege, but I've also experienced domestic violence and abuse, I've had a gun pulled on me, been stalked, witnessed a murder. My husband was born in East St Louis and he worked in their family bakery there. Many of his lifetime friends worked in ESL, and still live there. He lived for three years in Chicago Heights and lost friends to murder. NEITHER one of us owns a gun--let alone arms up to go buy groceries or gas. It isn't that we think something bad can't happen. We know better than that. We just refuse to live in fear.

To answer the original question, scared people arm themselves to go buy bread.

[Ilsa]

43. How does she pull her gun like that?

Does she slide it forward first? I can see she might be able to at least partially grip it, but how does she lift further up? It's already just a few inches away from her armpit.

[underpants]

44. She's practiced this.

Haven't you seen the movies?

So there's this immediate action needed.
She steps back with her right foot. Says "HOLD IT!". This freezes the threat.
She unholsters the weapon (putting her arm at least parallel to the ground), raises the weapon all responsible owner like, brings the second hand in to get a good grip, squares her shoulders, begins issuing commands to said threat who at this point would have actually shot her or went over to the olive bar got a bite and came back to shoot her. Or just walked away.

[Ilsa]

46. Oh, so that's how it's done!

I thought maybe someone behind her could reach for it if they are righthanded.

[RobinA]

52. You're Right

I have no idea how she’d safely unholster that thing. If it were me with that set up facing a bad guy with a gun I’d probably shoot myself in my tight side with the bullet going diagonally down through my torso hitting several major organs including my stomach.

[bottomofthehill]

55. She will never clear the holster

Full size .45 usually means penis envy, at least that is what i most often hear here.

[LuckyCharms]

47. BECAUSE THE HOTDOG ROLLS ARE KILLERS.

Surprised you didn't hear about that.

[keithbvadu2]

49. Does she have an ID that Dotard says is needed to buy groceries?

Does she have an ID that Dotard says is needed to buy groceries?

[Sneederbunk]

51. The cost of bread is highway robbery these days.

[OilemFirchen]

53. In case it tries to get fresh with her?

[quickesst]

56. Maybe because....

.... There is a snow storm in the forecast?

[JI7]

57. i wish these people could realize how stupid they look. even taking away the issue of gun control

even if you aren't for any gun control this still just looks stupid in itself.
