(151,225 posts)in the traditional way. He's out there to make some sort of point about firearms. I wouldn't be at all concerned that he would act violently if I followed him around like his own personal shadow. It would, however, annoy the shit out of him, but he's walking a fine line between exercising his "rights" and doing something illegal.
He's attempting to make some sort of moronic statement by doing this. Annoying him and doing so by exercising my rights to occupy the same sidewalks he's using to make his point would be my point. Almost without question, he would stop doing what he's doing, because the counterpoint is being made.
He thinks he's making some sort of important point. I'd be making my own point about his activity. I would not have to say a word to him. He'd get my point pretty quickly, I think.
I also have a CCW permit, although I almost never carry a firearm. He would not know that, though. He's visibly armed. Some guy following him might well be armed, too, but he wouldn't really know that.
