Doug,
I see you are building windmills to tilt against again. Your quetion is not relevant, as it has nothing to do with either civilian carry or Nida's actions last Thursday (or his other actions prior to last Thursday).
As a group we are declared even more law-abiding than the cops. That's nice, but it gets us nowhere when dealing with the spectacular behavior of some individual.
Let's focus on this one person, see if the "experts" can come up with a plausable explanation for his behavior, and proceed from there. So far his behavior is an enigma with overtones of race/religion baiting.
In the mean time, could we discuss what we as individuals and as a group ought to/agree to do about the one we see as acting a bit off the beam? The reluctance to turn in a felllow gunny seems to run high, even when all the hairs on the back of your neck are standing at attention. I'm all for having a quiet personal conversation with someone, but if that leaves me still feeling like I need to find cover and plausable deniability I'm not sure I want to leave it at that. Then again, having been on one side of the fence professionally, I'm not sure I want to see everybody turning in the next guy on the street just because they are a little odd (what would happen to me? would I be one of the first to go?:uhoh
.
stay safe.
