WINONA, Minn. – A downtown bar bouncer blocked two men, one wearing ski mask, when they refused to show proof they were 21. As words were exchanged the bouncer thought he saw a handgun in one of the men’s waistband. This was on the man with the ski mask. Police were called. A couple blocks away, near Second and Jefferson streets, officers located the pair, one still wearing a ski mask, and checked them out. No gun was found. So why the ski mask on a balmy October night in the 40s? “So why not? Not against the law, is it?” This all started about 1:15 a.m. in a bar in the 100 block of Third Street. The bouncer said he asked the masked man to take it off but he refused. That’s when things heated up – before the pair backed off and left.
