Question? What would prevent a crazy nut from getting close enough to this man and be able to grab the gun out of the holster and start shooting? Are guns secured in a holster some way?

That was my thought too: this holster doesn't have anything covering the trigger, it appears to be a "pressure" type holster. If so, the gun could be grabbed by someone.

It’s probably strapped in. You gotta keep your hand over it though. Look, the guy knows he’s creating a scene. You can’t get a license without training... I’m extremely confident he knows what he’s doing. You gotta keep your head on a swivel and be aware of your surroundings. Nothing more than a cop or military does every day. In fact, dude is probably ex military or cop to begin with.

It’s funny how titillated everyone in media etc. gets at the sight of somebody in a t-shirt with a gun.

His fist. And yes, usually holsters have a saftey strap to keep the firearm secure.
Notice from the pic his gun is secure, and a person would have to get right in his face to grab his gun. He'd probably already have his hand on it if some goon was approaching him in a threatening manner.

It's not as easy as you think to grap someone gun and start shooting either. Take yourself for instance. You aren't familiar with guns, so if you did manage to grab it, by the time you looked for and found the saftey, you'd be on ther ground spitting your teeth out.

I hear this false "someone can take your gun and use it against you" argument from the gun grabbers all the time.

If it's so easy to take a gun form someone and use it against them, why don't we just arm all the criminals so we can just take their guns when we need shoot them? That make any sense to you?
