No, I'd assume they are an idiot scofflaw and careless of the safety of others and themselves. I'd give them a wide distance.

I'd drop them like a stone if their actions were about to cause imminent harm to myself or others... as in: he drew an actual sword from his back and threatened to attack me or others.

Why is this so hard to understand?

"What's with the people who react violently to people that open carry weapons? Madness"

People have been indoctrinated for decades that all weapons are bad, except in movies. It's simple .. indoctrination/brainwashing/public-relations/propaganda works. The media and our education institutions have been co-opted by the liberal left. I assumed you knew this but maybe it isn't so obvious in Colorado.

This kind of event is the result.
