you saw someone in the grocery store carrying all these weapons?

ATLANTA — Two days after a gunman killed 10 people at a Colorado grocery store, leaving many Americans on high alert, Rico Marley was arrested as he emerged from the bathroom at a Publix supermarket in Atlanta. He was wearing body armor and carrying six loaded weapons — four handguns in his jacket pockets, and in a guitar bag, a semiautomatic rifle and a 12-gauge shotgun.

Moments earlier, an Instacart delivery driver had alerted a store employee after seeing Mr. Marley in the bathroom, along with the AR-15-style rifle, which was propped against a wall. A grand jury indictment later described what had come next: “panic, terror and the evacuation of the Publix.”

Mr. Marley, then 22, was arrested without incident that day in March 2021. His lawyer, Charles Brant, noted that he had not made any threats or fired any shots, and had legally purchased his guns. Mr. Marley did not violate Georgia law, Mr. Brant said; he was “just being a person, doing what he had the right to do.”

Indeed, Mr. Marley’s arrest kicked off a long and as yet unresolved legal odyssey in which the criminal justice system waffled over what it could charge him with and whether to set him free. Clearly, visiting the grocery store with a trove of guns had frightened people. But was it illegal?

 
Just a good God-fearing man exercising his constitutional rights. If people don't want to get killed in mass shootings they should carry several weapons with them at all times or never go out. Greatest country that has ever existed
 
You could shoot the guy and probably have a decent claim of self defense, given the number of weapons, the body armor, and the fact he had all that in a grocery store two days after the mass shooting at the Boulder grocery.

(a) A person is justified in threatening or using force against another when and to the extent that he or she reasonably believes that such threat or force is necessary to defend himself or herself or a third person against such other's imminent use of unlawful force; however, except as provided in Code Section 16-3-23, a person is justified in using force which is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm only if he or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent death or great bodily injury to himself or herself or a third person or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.

Probably would be quite the hero actually. If you shot this guy and they saw all he had, people would think you foiled a mass shooter's plans.
 
I want to do this at little league games played in a city owned park where the Republicans’ children play. The GA Supreme Court ruled you can’t prevent guns in such locations. Music Midtown was cancelled as a result.
