For many people, drawing a gun from a holster and firing it is stupid and dangerous. But for an experienced person the risks are minimal.

I agree with J. Saying it's stupid without articulating specific reasons why, isn't really debate... it's just one person's opinion. A relatively uninformed opinion at that by the OP's own admission.
Excellent point. This run is almost a non event for anyone remotely experienced. Illegal.....probably...so is jaywalking. And his gear is really gonna stink worse than it already does now.
