Poland's Justice Minister Sparks Controversy with Visible Pistol.

Poland's justice minister, Zbigniew Ziobro, has caused surprise after a gust of wind revealed that he carries a Glock pistol tucked in his belt. While Poland has strict rules about acquiring guns, Ziobro said he obtained permission to have a gun after receiving death threats from an organized crime boss. Critics on social media commented that the minister mustn't be confident in the protection he receives as a state figure, but supporters note that he has the right to try to obtain permission to have a gun like any citizen.
