it is silly to fear someone with a CCW because they are more law-abiding than most Americans, and are a deterrent to crime by openly carrying. They are the "good guys" with a gun.

In this case this upstanding, patriotic, selfless individual, proved that the customers' and the store manager's fears were justified by his subsequent threatening actions toward an unarmed person on behalf of a friend. Had the "friend's" roommate been armed, I wonder if SYG, or the Castle Doctrine, would have applied?
