Here are some of those safety warnings.
- After dark, don't shop alone. Take a friend. (Yeah, so you can both be mugged!)
- Remember where you parked your car. (If you can't find your car, it might have been stolen.)
- Look under your car before getting in. (This is based on the urban folktale about the guy hiding under the car ready to disable you by cutting your ankle tendons with his straight razor. Forget it. It's never happened.)
All these warning despite an adjacent article pointing out there is no more crime at the malls on Black Friday than on any other November Friday. But reason never wins over a good scare.
***
In South Carolina Black Friday kicks off "Second Amendment Weekend" with no state or local sales tax on firearms.
An armed shopper is a safe shopper.
