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

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.”
