North Carolina is not a bastion of liberal or progressive thinking.
It is more likely that the mall was full of Fox News viewers or reading right wing websites:

morefrom people afraid of guns .... and what is up with this
... 'to the terror of the public'
There are times and places for everything. I'm sorry but that dude was a total F'n idiot.
I'm thinking number 4 maybe? It seems like a catch all. Like conduct unbecoming.
The way I read it is that all elements must apply. And as I recall how the incident went down if someone with a long arm slung over their shoulder causes terror to the people then there are some very fearful people down that way.
You may be right about all the elements applying, who really knows? I don't know about people being fearful, seeing someone walking around in full kit is not a normal sight unless you are on a FOB somewhere. That's not even normal on a base unless there is some type of training maneuvers going on and even then, it's usually confined to certain areas of the base.
weren't Federal Troops just in Texas training, on city streets .... aka Jade Helm
Yes, and it was well publicized, everyone knew what was going on so if people saw soldiers traveling around in full kit it wouldn't raise any suspicions. That's why I said it's usually confined to certain areas. Jade Helm is like a huge Robin Sage exercise.
While I'll never oppose the right to openly carry firearms, the incident reported above illustrates well why I personally do not want to openly carry a firearm under most circumstances involving "the public" around. I do not want anyone - including LEO - to be uncertain of my intentions when that uncertainty is being created in their mind simply by my overt display of a weapon.
I don't wear a sword either....or carry a bowie knife in a sheath slung between my shoulder blades...

I feel the same way. Personally, I would never open carry anything. If people want to and it's legal, go for it. But don't be surprised if you draw unwanted attention to yourself.
No one knew for sure that the guy with the weapon wasn't a problem.
Sure....while at the same time the airwaves are filled with "see something, say something" admonitions from our government because we're supposedly under imminent danger from random acts of ISIS violence. Like trying to shoot as many people as possible in a shopping mall...chit like that.
What happened to plain old common sense?

So was this his personal weapon or does the army allow you take take stuff home?
He is guilty of poor judgement and I imagine if this is an army owned weapon unauthorized use of said weapon.

It had to be his personal weapon. AR-15 is a civilian rifle.

Well the media tends to call every black rifle an AR-15 now a days.
If it is his personal weapon, he should have used better judgement and used a case, the humidity of NC can be rough on steel.
