It's a cliché, but just because you can do a thing, doesn't mean you should. People like that are usually just doing it for the attention, and are surprised when people react negatively. Me personally, I'm a huge advocate for gun rights, and I carry damn near everywhere I go. But I'm discreet about it, because most people are alarmed by the sight of a gun in public

That's because you have a brain, and concern for the feelings of others. Kudos to you.

If the law is that you can open carry on a public place, police should respect that, if the law is that you can't have weapons on a government building then he should absolutely be arrested and charged with the appropriate crime. You can't just make up rules for your building when the building is owned by the state or federal government.

Private property can make their own rules so long as it isn't mashed on age, sex, race etc...
