Did you see the picture of the two - the large guy is carrying his long gun in a non-threatening manner. If I had been there, I would have kept an eye on him, but not reacted.

The smaller one is trolling for a response at best, and trying to incite fear at the worst - finger on the trigger guard,ready for action, and the barrel slightly elevated - clearing conveying a threat. And threats sometimes get answered.

They’re both obviously trying to cause trouble (if only angst among the clientele). There’s no indication they just happened to be carrying offensive weapons and wanted a bite to eat.

They’re trolls. I’m surprised how many here defend their actions.

“Threats sometimes get answered.” Indeed, someone _properly_ OCing (holstered, inoffensive, low-profile ... be he cop or not) may very well have found legal standing to escort them off the premises at gunpoint - or on a gurney, at the slightest hint of further escalation.
