You will note that it was "a customer" who went and alerted the police. The police officer was responding to the citizen's request for assistance. The police officer inquired of the guy who was OCing what he was about and who he was. The guy gives the cop a ration and the cop brings him in. Exactly how it should have been handled.
These OC guys are trying to make their point entirely the wrong way. In this case they prompted a citizen to request help from the police. Why? Probably because he/she was scared. It was 4:30 in the morning in a convenience store. Is it ever smart to scare people who have the right to go about their business unmolested?
These tactics just blow up in the face of gun rights advocates, including OC. It makes us all look stupid.
