5:11pm–#Fairfield CT–A GameStop manager called police when he saw a customer with a gun at his waist. A store that many say promotes gun violence with games like Grand Theft Auto and Call of Duty, the managers usually know the rules of these games but apparently not the Constitution or open carry rules in the state. The police said he had a talk with customer but he was not escorted out. The radio reports said the manager said he and customers were nervous but it is uncertain if the manager polled the customers on this claim. A store usually has to post a sign on the door that firearms are not permitted inside but ironically the sign on the door was looking for Battlefront and Call of Duty Beta Testers.
