Dude, you can open carry in this state, but if you do maybe don't lean across the customer service counter, get up in the reps face, and start making demands. It's not a good look.
I don't know what the bat-signal was, but within 30 seconds there was a pack of managers and emplyees around him.

Could the POTUS cabinet changes be a premptive move to avoid a 25th amendment invocation? That would be on-brand.

PIs that already know how to read and digest and write might make use of tools that potentially save *them* time. These tools would short circuit skill development in the untrained and inexperienced
