Were the lady and kid in front of him with him, if not he is standing really close. Probably one of those guys who think open carrying makes you look like a bada$$. If that is a handcuff pocket why would a normal person be carrying around handcuffs, it would be a weird place for a cellphone case. Would there be a case for brandishing if you walk around with your hand on your weapon? I would take that as slightly threatening if I were there.
