Haha, yep, I noticed that after I typed my response. Oh well.

Long story short, not having people know you have a firearm is the first step in people not trying to take your firearm away.

Or worst yet a anti nut job starting a gun panic

My memory of that incedent was different. He already had a gun, he walked in and shot them, he did get shot in the process as well, but survived multiple days before encountering another policeman and being killed.

If my memory serves me correctly his girlfriend provided him the gun and she ultimately ended up getting very little if any jail time.

Edit for link

Haven't verified the girlfriend part yet, but my memory was good about the guns, he killed the cops and then took one of there service pistols.

The story sounds real to me. Obviously, the teller doesn't understand anything about situational awareness and is too conflict averse to be open carrying. However, he realizes he didn't behave competently or look good in the story. His bubblegum was saved by the unarmed bookstore clerk. He never really found out what was motivating the potential assailants. He was thouroughly indecisive and insecure, and made no attempt to hide that. I can see no reason for telling the story except it was real and the guy really did want feedback. The very fact that guy was open carrying in a bookstore where he was a regular and known to the clerk fits. Bookstores are low conflict places--sort of the opposite of bars. And he already knew clerk. The place he would be least likely to run into any conflict over the open carrying.

The writing style is weird. But it's weird in a common way. These days, some of the younger among us don't distinguish between written and oral speech. They write exactly as they speak, unedited, with the unnecessary sidetracks left in, and often essential elements omitted. A very rambling style compared with normal writing. A lot more like a straight tape of conversation than ordinary writing.

Yup, it's called stream of consciousness, sometimes even appearing as complete sentences.
