I’m entirely failing to see the “wrong” in demonstrating that he himself carries a weapon when asked about carrying a weapon. There are no doubt plenty of reasons to dislike this guy, but this example is little more than people like you trying really, really hard to make something out of nothing.

And you probably never will.
Do you know the trope of a mob boss placing his gun on his desk? What’s wrong with that? It’s definitely not a threat, right? (sarcasm)
If he’s CC he should want it concealed I would assume. What’s the point of flashing it? It’s to show the people (who he doesn’t like and disagrees with, as well as those other people who hear about his actions later) what he’s got. Why? What does it do to further his argument?

Why don’t you spend some time applying some of that critical thinking to why he would threaten a group of kids?
