IMHO, what this really means is that even the "dumb people", despite the anti-gun rhetoric that is constantly shoved down their throats to the contrary, still do not really feel threatened by ordinary citizens carrying firearms.
This is where the "real world rubber" meets the road. If the anti-gun rhetoric were true, or even if anybody actually believed it: that all citizens with a gun were likely to be criminals, do you really think these amateur, untrained folks would have confronted you?
As is always the case, the facts of the real world simply do not correlate to the fantasy land delusions of the anti-gunners.
In like fashion, I always have a quiet chuckle when I read about whiny anti-gunners who confront open carriers in the local grocery-mart, etc. about their open carry. Same thing, in every single one of those cases, if the carrier were really throwing off a "criminal vibe" only a fool would walk up and confront them about it, especially in the nasty confrontational manner that we hear in some reports. Their actions betray their words.
