A man wearing a Make America Great Again hat showed his gun to an employee at a restaurant in Mission, Kan., after he was asked to provide an explanation for not wearing a mask in accordance with coronavirus restrictions, staff told local media this week.

[Arlo Kinsey, 18,] who the paper noted in its coverage is now a “former” employee of the restaurant, said he asked the man when he first came in if he “could go get his mask or if he had a mask, and he said he had an exemption.”

“I asked him if I could see the exemption just to make sure, and then he showed me his gun, saying that that was his exemption,” he continued.

“I just graduated high school. I’m working in a minimum-wage job just to save up for college, and then I’ve got to tell this dude to wear a mask because, that's, you know, what I’m required to do by law,” he said, referring to Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly's (D) recent order requiring all residents to wear masks in public to help slow the spread of COVID-19.

"My first thought was, I work in customer service, and this is really what’s going to happen? All we’re asking is that you wear a mask for a couple of minutes,” Kinsey told The Kansas City Star.

“We could have taken your order outside if you didn’t want to. But you go into an air conditioned area without a mask on, and if I tell you to wear one, you’re going to shoot me? Wow. I make $8.50 an hour, plus tips — for this?” he continued.

Bob Palmgren, who owns the restaurant, says he was in the kitchen when the man arrived before Kinsey came to him about the customer.

“I run over there, and I’m like, 'Hey, what’s going on?' And he shows me his Trump hat. And I like Trump. Everybody’s got problems. But it doesn’t make a difference. You don’t have a mask on. And I’m like, 'Your gun’s not going to kill coronavirus. Now get the hell out of here,” Palmgren told the paper.
