In any case, none of the reasons support the absurd logic that he should have the right to carry it around in public like he was doing. Except for 'Merica!

I'm all about personal defense, but at one point you need to take a step back and look at how ridiculous the gun laws in that country are where you can have people carrying weapons like that down the street in a contentious area no less.
In his brother's words (the organizer of the event) he was exercising his right.

All I was saying is that having a gun with no ammo doesn't really leave a decision in the gun owner's hands with regard to fight or flight in that situation.

I'll bet he doesn't carry like that in the future.

I'm not a proponent of open carry. I think it's way more dangerous than conceal carry.
