This ought to be fun; the RKBA is based on the principle of self-defense. A public place, no threat of physical safety, no one breaking the law - just a person annoyed by loud noise. One can imagine that he could be arrested for threatening other customers.

I made no threats, nor touched my weapon. I simply asked them to keep the noise to a reasonable level. It was as unobtrusive as my balding head.

RKBA is based on the idea that an armed society is a free society and capable of controlling the government.

Individual self defense is secondary and incidental to that from what I've read in the Federalist and Anti-Federalist papers.

Here in CT you can count on it. Having a CCW does not make you a superman, in fact, you need to act the complete opposite.

So if a cop in uniform who was eating after getting off duty asked them to keep it down, could he be arrested for threatening them? Of course not.

I have three small children, and occasionally they get a little loud. As long as I am asked politely, I don't see a threat.

I agree, lemura. Irresponsible behavior young man. Now go up to your room for a good time-out and the firearm gets locked-up in the safe until further notice!

In Michigan, at least, the showing of a firearm in an attempt to intimidate, is considered "brandishing" and will get you 90 days and a hefty fine. Class A misdemeanor.
