Whining snowflake and a great side story.

I found about this article on one of the Utah gun forums (that's another story).
The thread there is discussing the comments accompanying the story that are totally pwning the author of the article.
REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK: Open Air, Open Carry
First, my take on this article. The author, a woman (not that it matters), sees a man open carrying at an open air Shakespeare performance in Wyoming and goes on a rant about how it ruined her evening.
What strikes me as "snowflake" logic is this paragraph and that she then goes on with her rant.
AS I stated, the comments following the story rake the author over the coals, but as comments often do, one got slightly sidetracked.
One comment is an entire story in itself. And caused me to break up laughing.
Someone had commented something like: "What happens when you see an LEO with a gun? Do you stare at them?"
Here's the answer:

I will admit, after reading the entire article that the author does rationally inform people of the change in the Wyoming atmosphere regarding open carry.Chris Dooley · Texas A&M
"Do you stare at their sidearm"
I did, once.
Then I tapped the officer on the shoulder
Then I told him, as politely and discreetly as I could, that he had no magazine in his weapon.
I check my duty sidearm several times a day ever since.
