For the most part I trust people, whether they're carrying a gun or not. Though I would be more watchful of a person openly carrying a firearm. But thats simply due to the fact that I know they have the potential to reach out and hurt me and those around me. If I saw something in their behavior that caused me concern I'd leave.

ok, i take this to mean that you look for behavior patterns instead of just wearing a gun. perfectly fine i think.

I agree. I'd be looking for someplace else to be myself.

considering the gun laws in chi and nyc, i'd be surprised they hadn't been arrested yet.
