Because he wants to.

I think I'll take my AR15 and a couple thousand rounds with me too. I might even bring some handcuffs and duck tape

Why? Because I want to. Anyone who has a problem with that and perhaps feels threatened or calls the cops hates America, guns, the 1st and 2nd Amendments, freedom in general, and is afraid of his own shadow.

So.....

The cops come in the middle of the night to evacuate the neighborhood because of a train derailment and you are SOUND asleep and don't hear the doorbell (because you are 80 years old and you don't hear so well) and they come in to tell you that toxic gas is leaking and your wife hears them and shakes you awake you are going to grab your gun and empty the clip.

I guess it's good to have a plan. Tell your wife to duck. Crossfire is a *****.

Now you are plotting.

All this man did was carry his arms under normal routines.

Normalizing guns is a good thing, lots of people doing this over a period of time will stop the emotional reactions to guns.

It's his right and is perfectly legal. Does no harm whatsoever. [MOD CUT/off topic]

Their environmental initiatives make it one of the healthiest places in the world to live. The educational system in Switzerland is lauded the world over.

So in short, in nearly every quantifiable aspect that can affect a culture, Switzerland kicks our asses and renders SourD's "argument" ineffectual.
So..............

Open Carry: Check
Rich People: Check
Voters are listened to: Check
Good education: Check

Yep..........they sure are different and BETTER than America, where wealth, guns, democracy, and strong education are hated by liberals.

-He could be new in town, and just trying to make friends who have the same views on guns as him
-He could be trying to get a friendly discount at JC Penney's
-He could just be on a shopping spree/stroll after hunting
-Maybe there is a gun shop nearby and he just bought it, didn't have time to drop it off at home first
-Maybe he is expressing his masculinity; women carry a purse over their shoulder, he can carry his gun
-Maybe you are idiots and are dead now if he was in fact a psycho
You're gonna get dead a lot faster by the idiot in the car next to you who's texting and driving. And that idiot just might take out a whole busload of chillens.
