Open Carry "Scare"? - Utah Park in Aurora

[cstone]

Here is an thread derailing question; Which would be more concerning, an odd man walking around the park with a handgun tucked in his waistband but not in his hands OR an odd man with a steak knife in his hand walking around the park?

What makes the man appear to be odd? What else is going on around the "odd" man?

To the OP, how long did you remain in the park after the panic stricken woman warned you? Obviously, with your family present the prudent move would be to gain some distance and avoid any known or potential danger. I am not attempting to second guess your choice. You were there and I was not.

Yep, right or wrong, we left immediately, going the opposite direction, putting a building in between us and where the guy was rumored to be. Regardless of whatever feelings I have on the legalities, I'm not willing to put my wife and kids at risk, imaginary or not. My biggest concern on the way out was I couldn't locate this "odd" man or tell which direction he was moving. My wife was clearly very worried, but kept her head on her shoulders, and it was a good teaching moment for the kids too.
