You need some education. Gun deaths are not rare. And, this should not be the price we have to pay.

372 mass shootings in the US in 2015, killing 475 people and wounding 1,870, according to the Mass Shooting Tracker, which catalogues such incidents. A mass shooting is defined as a single shooting incident which kills or injures four

School shootings: There were 64 school shootings in 2015, according to a dedicated campaign group set up in the wake of the Sandy Hook elementary school massacre in Connecticut in 2012. Those figures include occasions when a gun was fired but no-one was hurt.
All shootings: Some 13,286 people were killed in the US by firearms in 2015, according to the Gun Violence Archive, and 26,819 people were injured [those figures exclude suicide]. Those figures are likely to rise by several hundred, once incidents in the final.
60% were by firearm compared with 31% in Canada, 18.2% in Australia, and just 10% in the UK.

And according to AAA, over the next 100 days and average of 10 traffic deaths per day will be caused by teenage drivers.
And they're probably texting when they cause the deaths.

Actually, I just saw a piece on the news this morning that said the highest number of teenage accidents occur because of other teenagers in the car with them (distracting them). That's why in Ohio, younger drivers are limited as to how many they may have in the car with them.

That may be so, however they aren't stopping these types of crimes.

No, they are not. But that wasn't the purpose for them here.

There were photos of them, smirking and acting like they were hot stuff. They routinely trolled the toy aisles.

WTH? Something is wrong with those people. The rule gave the stores backing to ask them to leave.

Thought CA open carry permits were only valid in rural areas, counties with a population less than 200,000.

Someday, when scientists discover the center of the Universe....some people will be disappointed it is not them.

I've seen people open carry in stores.

None of them acted like that.

You haven't been to every store, I'm assuming. There were photos of them online at the time it was an issue.

Maybe they wouldn't bother you but it bothered other people. I have to wonder who would be bothered if they looked a certain way... armed and all.
