He is very lucky and very foolish. If someone in my presence walked into a store with an uncased rifle, I personally would have the safety off and be ready to draw and fire the second he gave indications of even thinking about shouldering the weapon. I would err on the side of saving myself and other patrons in making the decision.

Sounds to me like you shouldn't be carrying a gun.

Damn straight. Raised rural I was taught that a gun came out only when you either transporting it or planning to do business with it. You do not brandish it around in a store to ‘prove a point’. You may end up proving a different point than you intended.

Trigger happy ninnies like you will probably do more harm to our RKBA than the OC guys will.

Not to be a smart a$$, but... duh! I had this happen to me once. Made me nervous as all get out, but the guy did not display any intent. Weapon was slung and he was walking casually with a girlfriend.

Sounds like you’re looking for a fight.
