in public -- "just in case" -- shows a high degree of irrational fear and paranoia to begin with. What most of us would consider a mild confrontation, this person would most likely consider threat of bodily harm and trigger (literally) a stand-your-ground shooting.

SYG vigilantism is applauded by the right-wing gun nut crowd as justifiable homicide, and "cleaning our streets."
