"It really disgusted me the fact that somebody would bring a weapon in here," said customer Mark O’Day.
Well,obviously,even with the stupidity by Mr.Roberts,Mark O'Day needs a few Constitutional lessons.
The O'Day's, in so many respects, are even more threatening to the RKBA's than the Roberts'.

Young girl finds gun; man arrested
FORT MILL, S.C. -- Parents at a popular playground got a major scare after a little girl found a loaded handgun and picked it up.
"Oh my God," said Plaza Fiesta patron Ana Moreno. "Imagine if the little girl would try to use it, be curious about it."
The playground is inside the Plaza Fiesta shopping center in Fort Mill near Carowinds. Saturday afternoon, a 7-year-old girl grabbed the 22 magnum from the playground and handed it over to security, according to investigators.
"It really disgusted me the fact that somebody would bring a weapon in here," said customer Mark O’Day.
Anthony Roberts, 31, claimed ownership of the gun. York County sheriff’s deputies arrested him.
"It’s a big playground, a lot of kids running around here," said O’Day. "It could have been horrible, a little kid with a gun."
Roberts told investigators he must have dropped his gun when he went into the playground to pick up his son. He returned and approached a security guard asking to get his pistol back.
"No guns, knives or weapons allowed on premises," read signs at Plaza Fiesta.
Even though Roberts carries a concealed weapons permit, the Lancaster man faces a misdemeanor trespassing charge.
Under South Carolina law, Roberts could lose his permit for up to a year if he’s charged a second time.
