Despite the whining of some here about this man being openly armed, such is his legal right. And in light of the violence being systematically employed against law-abiding citizens simply using their First Amendment rights, actions taken on the basis of the Second are not surprising.
I would not advise open carry, however, for a variety of tactical reasons, not the least of which is that it makes you a target, and gives warning to the adversary.
It's the ace up one's sleeve that wins this game best.

Isn't it true that in 98% of defensive gun uses, no shot need be fired - only the sight of the gun in the hands of the intended victim is necessary to put a stop to the attack?
I'd rather have a mugger discover that I'm armed while they're still halfway across the road, turning their beeline towards me into a boomerang (yes, it happened to me), than after they've rushed me and punched me in the head before I have a chance to draw.
