>>> It's my understanding that he grabbed a gun and headed in that direction and was told to go back home.  For good reason, since that's exactly the wrong way to behave when you are carrying.  Using your weapon should be a last resort, such as when you are pinned down in a movie theater by an armed assailant.  Even then, you still need to think about whether or not you have a clear line of sight and where your bullet is likely to go.

Couple that up with the increasing paranoia, as a result of the recent instances in Aurora (Colorado) and Milwaukee (Wisconsin), and I feel I have a right to be curious.
