The guys behavior was provocative, and odd. He had the weapon visibly stuffed under his shirt, he approached the window, started writing a note and said “gun”.
When I was in the Army, I was often armed with a side arm on the Strasse (in Germany) in uniform either with a concealed 0.38 in a shoulder harness under my field jacket, or a 0.45 on a pistol belt. I never made any attempted to act like a bad ass or draw attention to myself or intimidate anyone.
