At the end of August, a mass shooter rampaged through Odessa, Texas after a traffic stop that saw him kill seven people and injure 22 others, including a 17-month-old girl.
Sadly, it was the second shooting the Lone Star State had seen that month after an August 3 shooting at an El Paso Walmart claimed the lives of 22 people and injured an additional 24.
After years of experiencing shootings like this with no apparent solution forthcoming, more and more Americans now feel as though they're risking their lives by trying to go anywhere, especially when the guns they may have once been used to seeing are clearly present.
In the days since these shootings, an increasing number of retailers are responding to their customers' anxieties changing their policies in states where citizens are legally permitted to openly carry firearms.
