Are mask mandates amid the coronavirus pandemic constitutional?
Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano weighs in.
A Massachusetts man was arrested after police said he pulled a gun on a 30-year-old man outside a Walgreens because the alleged victim was not wearing a face mask inside the store.
Todd Goulston, 59, of East Bridgewater, was charged with multiple offenses following the alleged incident that occurred amid the state's coronavirus mask order. His license to carry a firearm and his guns were seized by officers, police said.
"Goulston allegedly pulled out a gun from his vehicle and pointed it at the other man, who had not been wearing a face mask in the store," according to a news release by the Bridgewater Police Department.

Police responded to Walgreens Pharmacy in Bridgewater around 5:20 p.m. on Friday after the manager called to report an argument between two men in the store. The altercation dragged into the parking lot, which is when Goulston allegedly pulled out the firearm, police said. He then got into his car and left the scene.
The 30-year-old was not injured during the incident, police said. Goulston was later arrested at his home.

Upon being placed into custody, police said the suspect complained of a medical issue and was transported to a local hospital.
