Jose Lopez and wife Natalie Wester say their four-month-old baby has a compromised immune system so they 'mask up' in hopes of not bringing the coronavirus home to their little boy.

So when they recently went to Hang Time Sports Grill & Bar, they were taken aback when told they must remove their masks or leave.

Bar owner Tom Blackmer says this has come up before. He has a strict no-mask policy and says most people who object just find another bar.

Blackmer says it's not political. He does not like President Biden or former President Trump. He simply says if people are afraid, they should stay home.
