the open display of weapons on the street. The host was trying to get him to admit that when a person sees another person with a gun in the open - that it scares them - and this guy just wasn't going to admit that.

I then thought that the reason people buy guns - is because they are afraid of other people that may have a gun that may harm them or their family. Yet this guy wouldn't admit that if other people saw him carrying a gun that they would be afraid.
