Agreed, as much as he might have the right to carry, it likely would have been a bit smarter to put the gun in a bag. As well, though, the police should have been smart enough to determine if he was a threat or not, and release him. Why arrest him? Was this really necessary? Will they apologize and undo the potential damage to his military career?
I don’t give a crap about his military career. Anybody this stupid shouldn’t be in the military.
