Please sign and share this petition asking Publix supermarkets to reverse their recent decision to allow open carry in their stores. If their stores are so unsafe customers feel a need to bring guns, they should hire professional security, not let randos intimidate shoppers.

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

okay so you know how the media has a problem with taking snippets of scientific studies out of context and writing articles which mislead the public?
now imagine a computer program is doing that when you ask it questions about scientific literature but also it makes stuff up.
