As his superior or a testing agent, I'd have serious doubts about his ability to discern what is a suspicious activity if he stopped this person, and questioned him, and I'd have asked what his RAS was to allow him to do so. If you don't ask the hard questions in an interview, what's the point? Evidently, the interviewer/questioner had no understanding of the law which is unfortunate.
He over-reacted quite a bit. He had no RAS to seek an encounter, meanwhile REAL criminals were possibly walking by while his attention was distracted stopping a LAC. As long as the citizen wasn't doing anything illegal (he was walking his dog), there's no reason to stop him.
AND it is not illegal in any state that I'm aware to be mildly intoxicated while carrying a weapon (after all he was walking, not staggering) - I noticed he inserted 'brandishing' which is not what was happening. He is intentionally vague here, conflating 'carrying' with brandishing. Too bad this officer doesn't know, doesn't abide by the law and is busy, busy, busy stopping law-abiding citizens engaged in the VERY suspicious act of dog walking. I'd have liked the questioner to have him cite the law that it's illegal to walk and OC having had a couple drinks (say at his house prior). There is none.

The real and proper answer would be to say 'it's not illegal to OC a firearm while engaged in a perfectly legal activity, so I would probably have just walked by and wished him a nice day, it's all I have cause to do. During that time I might observe him and finding no actionable conduct, no staggering, minding his own business, I would have then gone on my way, on the look out for actual criminal activity.'
