:iagree: Sort of like questioning/policing how others choose to legally carry their self defense tools. My mother taught me better.

Manager was called and she was wearing a mask, my wife asked if it was a store policy to wear a mask. Manager said it was up to the customer, with her back to the people they were flipping my wife the bird.
I personally don't think it is appropriate to challenge a person one does not know in a public place. I don't wear a mask in stores and if someone ask me about it I would tell them to mind their own business. Challenging total strangers is also a good way to get into very uncomfortable confrontation. As your wife found out.

Agreed. I also don't understand why people think a cloth muzzle will protect them or anyone else from an airborne virus 400 nanometers long.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A man accused of shooting a Michigan security guard in a dispute over wearing a face mask was captured 1,300 miles away in Houston earlier this week.

Larry Teague, 44, was arrested Thursday near a Studio 6 motel where he was staying in west Houston.

Genesee County authorities said Ramonyea Bishop, 23, was taken into custody in Michigan.
It does not please me that this guy came to Texas. :totap:

Me neither but it does please me that they caught him before he killed someone else.

It doesn't. It stops the much larger droplets of lung goop which get coughed up and contain the 400nm virus.
I am not a lawyer, nor have I played one on TV, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, nor should anything I say be taken as legal advice. If it is important that any information be accurate, do not use me as the only source.
