I wish I had something substantial to add but I will say this, I work with an open carry guy, he was wearing his gun at work, totally unnecessarily, and made folks a little nervous so now he carries it in a little bag everywhere on his shoulder. He has now been galvanized by him being asked to not open carry and daily goes on bitch tirades about how he has his rights. It is clear that a lot of his identity, to him, is wrapped up in his gun. It takes up a lot of his mental energy and he dwells on it a lot and feels embarrassed and hurt that people don't like his gun. He of course says the gun is there to defend himself which makes sense hypothetically.

So my question is, who has the mental health issue here? The people who are nervous about a gun at work or the guy who is so paranoid he needs to take everywhere and can't feel like himself without his gun and has it in a little man purse?

I'm not talking rights, I'm asking who is cuckoo? I personally feel like this guy has an overactive imagination, lacks statistical comprehension, and is paranoid.

Also, I was not one of the people who asked him not to carry, I don't really care because the guy is a solid reliable employee.
