The video really speaks for itself.

Well, yes, it does.
It says that if you go out, looking for trouble, you'll find it.
I don't really see the point in antagonizing police officers, just to make a point.
They have enough to do, and are far too volatile to screw around with. (IMHO)
Yeah, I have a right to walk around in a lot of placed with my .44 strapped to my hip, but there are neighborhoods where the residents don't realize that, and I'm just inviting trouble by doing so.
I have better things to spend my time on than arguing the second amendment with cops.

How can he be a troublemaker if he's not doing anything wrong? if the law states he's doing what is legal then what do the police have on him? why stop him?

Where I live, folks carry a lot, and none of the locals give it a second look.
But if we are going down to Denver, we leave our guns at home, or concealed, as a guy carrying a gun in Denver tends to make people nervous. And nervous people call the police to report a guy walking around with a gun.
Then the police have to respond and see what is up. Then they have to write a report to explain what the found when they made contact. And they like to know why a guy is walking around with a gun, anyway.
I think this guy knew he would get stopped when he strapped up and walked outside.
That, is "looking for trouble"

Well there you have it, stop making ridiculas laws if people aren't happy with the outcomes. He has still not violated any law.

Kinda sounds like here, except open carry is not a common sight.
If being an idiot about it, one could and should be cited for disturbing the peace.

Again how are you disturbing the peace if you are going along your lawful way .....if people are worried change the law . The coppers left him alone in the end everyone else should too . You can't have it both ways

OK fine, I see somebody acting in a way which concerns me.
Then he attacks me.

I agree with LM & TD. The fact that he was "armed" with the law & "armed" with a recording device shows, to me anyway, that he was deliberately looking for the situation so he could film it & make his point. Childish, IMO; cruisin' for a bruisin' & was lucky to find a reasonable officer to deal with. No harm done, I'm just not impressed with his efforts.

I have no problem with those who want to normalize open carry. I am all for it.
Just don't be a jerk about it.

What a sick country where people think it OK or even necessary to carry a weapon. My attitude is any sick bastard that wants to be armed with a deadly weapon really needs to be taken off the streets. In this country people like him are regarded as dangerous lunatics. What are you all so afraid of?

Becoming like Chicago or any other large city in America where the overlords prohibit the free exercise of one's Constitutional and inalienable right to bear arms.

Every time I go to my favorite fishing hole I pass a house where a farmer was murdered in his own home. It was done in broad daylight by a couple of guys on a road trip. The road trip, in their minds was considered employment. Pass a farm house, looks vacant, break in and loot. Simple enough, unless owner comes home.
So fine, paint me paranoid.
Who is hurt as me and millions of other citizens are armed?

Unless they have changed the law, in illinois it is illegal to record the police. Wonder what the deal is in the state he was in.

I certainly don't care if you're armed or not. I get that stuff happens. I carry a gun on occasion, and have yet to actually harm anyone, except some guy that tried to rob me, who lost a piece of foot for the effort.
I simply disagree with Scrat's appraisal.
Most of the society I wander in is still quite honorable and we we have a healthy respect for each other.

In Illinois, I can see that being the case. I think that came about after the Chicago '68 fiasco
This guy was in Portland, Maine. Maine has no such law.

By passing on the issue, the justices left in place a federal appeals court ruling that found that the state's anti-eavesdropping law violates free-speech rights when used against people who audiotape police officers.
