Well actually, wandering around with rifles over your back was commonplace, the public reactions are what have changed. Here is a wee news flash for you the only way a behaviour becomes acceptable is for people to get used to it.
Conversely a behaviour becomes unacceptable when it is furtive and hidden. Better get used to seeing this stuff happen more often, because the public need to get over themselves.
And in so far as stupidity is concerned I think the court has a fair idea of who wins there.. the public excursions with the rifle were completed without incident on both occasions, there was no threat and no issue identified other that the wearing of the said rifle over his back. The turnover was not the issue, even the public notification is not the issue, but the way it was handled by the silly little john wayne with cowboy aspirations, who neither knows the law nor knows how to interact with people; needs to spend less time watching movies and playing with himself in order to not further embarress his employers.
By the way, being upset would be a misinterpretation, rubbing ones hands together at opportunity is quite a different thing.
