Yeah I saw that one awhile too. If memory serves correctly, I think the story I read was he was participating in some Boy scout activity, and was not in any urban area at the time of the incident. The video would seem to collaborate some of that, because there didn't look like there was a lot of people around, and he looked like he was on some country road, with day hiking equipment on.
Anywho, i think his biggest mistake was he lost his cool. The instant you pop off to a cop, it will all go downhill from there. Once he gave them an attitude, the outcome was predetermined.
As an aside, unless im at the range, or out in BFE target shooting, or actively hunting, i don't open carry because I just don't normally carry a rifle or shotgun otherwise. As for handguns, I have a IWB holster and a CFP if i feel the need.
