I am no lawyer, but consider if it is legal for you to openly carry a gun and you approach someone and you keep walking around that person and maybe stare at that person without saying a word. You could be charged with committing an act of violence or the threat of violence without saying a word and even if the other party started it.

Ya start with a simple walk and look comment with open carry and then get into a who started it scenario......???

Your assumption (or my interpretation of yer post) that a mean look while open carry is a chargeable offense ??

I went further than that. I alsostated that if you approach a person in the wrong way you could be charged with a crime even if you don't say anything threatening and you don't have a gun. Although I admit it is to some degree subjective, at some point one's behavior can be construed to be menacing, whether or not that behavior involves a gun. The person who is armed owes it to himself to err on the side of caution and a lapse of common sense could ruin one's life.

Circle a strangers table and eyeball them and see if you don't get a response. stop being so freaking obtuse.
