Police said he was monitoring local agencies and had formulas for rifle scopes on a note in his cup holder. [More]OK. And he was "nowhere near the president."
And the story doesn't mention him having a...you know, rifle. Just "a sidearm."
The charge?
"[G]oing armed in terror of the public"...?
I think we all need to learn a lot more. This certainly sounds odd, but it's not exactly like the "Authorized Journalists" have earned my automatic trust with their formula.

The enemy really does make this stuff up as goes, doesn't it?
Yes, our sad little state of NC has "[G]oing armed in terror of the public" defined as a crime. Translation is, "Local Only-One decides you shouldn't be carrying a gun because someone went into PSH mode when he saw you."
So though open carry isn't prohibited by statute (and doesn't require a permit), it's effectively banned due to the (intentional) vagueness of the law.
WTF is a "formula" for a rifle scope?
Do they mean trajectory table which come in the box with a variety of range finding scopes?
Far be it from me to wish evil on anyone, although perhaps this incident will be an enlightening one for the 23-year old as to how "the system" works, regardless of the actual circumstances.
I second Ned's question.
