Was it wise to allow such a situation to escalate to the point that it caused store employees to evacuate the store? Was it worth it in this case for Scott to wait until the incident escalated to police involvement? Would it have been a wiser decision on his part to simply leave the store immediately upon being confronted by store employees, and never shop there again?
A-men! Do I have a right to carry - Yes, is carrying a firearm a controversial subject that a great many do not understand because their only education on the subject is TV and their own conjecture - Yes. Therefore it is my responsability to make sure I do not cause panic or confusion. Also, while carrying it is not my job (or a good idea) to educate the public on carry rights.

Re: CHL holder killed by police in Las Vegas at a Costco

To quote the great K,

"People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it"

Not assigning blame in any direction. True it is a "right" to carry, but you have to think 5 steps ahead of everyone, that includes police.

The sillyist comment I have ever heard from someone is "That persons right to not be alarmed doesnt over ride my right to carry". This was a comment from an open carrier. As we have just learned, "spooking" an idiot can be just as dangerous if not more so than being confronted with an actual threat.
