I don't think the cops should detain people just because they look scary to me. Freedom is more important than my feelings and fears.

The cops could just OBSERVE citizens that people are scared of. They could have followed the guy in the kilt without infringing upon his freedoms.

That seems downright reasonable ... it'll never happen.

Follow him for how long? All day?

The reason I don't have a problem with cops questioning and IDing someone in this situation is that if the person has a legitimate and legal reason to be carrying the rifle, it will take about a minute to answer some questions, cooperate, and be on your way.

If I am truly a law abiding person, and someone calls the cops on me, I would much rather they stop me, clear the situation, and let me go, rather than awkwardly follow me around town all day.

Would the gun nuts really be ok with a cop following you around all day. You would not find that to be an invasion of your privacy?
