Why? Because it is weird, and weird people sometimes do weird things, like start shooting other people for no reason. Someone with a 44 on their hip wouldn't bother me. I might stop and compare guns with him. But a weirdo dressing up and patrolling with a rifle is weird. And weirdos are weird...
Normal:
Weird:
Must be where you grew up.....a rifle slung over one’s back isn’t a problem for me, particularly a bolt action rifle.
If you want to see “odd”, try coming up to my Walmart here in North Georia....there’s some “odd” people that would give you the willies....better yet, try the “people of Walmart” sites on the web.
ALSO, again, someone please provide me a link or verification this man had ARMOR plating in that vest. From what I’ve seen and the type of utility tac vest he was wearing, it most likely didn’t have ARMOR plates. They are expensive and not real easy to get. If he was using grandpa’s 303 and not an AR/M-4 or an AK clone, he likely couldn’t have afforded the plates that go in the vests...
To the media, any rifle is an AK, any vest is ARMORED...BS.
That’s not a BPV, it’s a tac vest, if anything. Probably has Molle loops and places for a cell phone, camera, some magazines or clips for the Enfield. BPV’s are meant to sit close on the body. That’s def. a milsurp Molle vest.
