Amanda Marcotte is very concerned knowing that so many people out there are carrying around guns, and referenced a story about a man who was spotted with a gun in a bank:

A tweeter tried to point out to Marcotte how often she’s probably around people with guns and doesn’t even know it:

I feel safe walking downtown at night, and I'd feel SAFER with my gun with me. Why? Because I control my safety. @bfwriter @AmandaMarcotte

Also, it doesn’t appear that Marcotte read the entire story she linked, because the person she used in this example of “scary assholes with guns” turned out to be a police officer:
.@AmandaMarcotte "Police arrived on the scene and determined that the suspicious man was a law enforcement official…"

@AmandaMarcotte Not sure why that would cause you to call a cop an "asshole" for carrying off duty when his job may compel him to do so.
