Roger that. The problem of course is that while openly carrying a long gun is perfectly legal, doing so in a matter to intimidate and cause alarm definitely isn't. If a couple of them report you to the coppers and complain that they were frightened by your gun, they aren't the ones who'll be taking a ride downtown.

It is true that i might have backlash from this and would normally think that way but its true in a high stress situation that you lose alot of your abilities. I feel like i acted poorly in this situation and am thankful for all of your insight.

And that, my friend, shows a teachable attitude. Given the massive frustration of the whole thing, it would be easy to see why you originally reacted the way you did. I might well have done so myself. But the value of this thread is that we all get to check our attitudes at the door and learn from your experience, without having to suffer any painful lessons.

Be safe out there, and I hope that aren't the subject of any revenge actions.
