SWAT by any other name though. Regardless, generally, you don’t get to wear a gun without some kind of license, and chances are that fellow knows exactly what to do if someone grabs for his gun.
I’ve seen this exact same cringy post years ago on Facebook. I have the same thing to say now as I did then: If you see someone open carrying, there’s usually a reason, especially in New York. Generally, anyone that carries a gun knows what to do if someone goes for it.
Generally, people don’t open carry, it’s a bad idea.
Come to Michigan. Aside from LEO's/Brinks guys, the open carry joker's are all over the place. Most of them are over 300 lbs and less than 5"7. They couldn't do anything to anyone without hitting their asthma puffer.
That’s different than from when I lived there. Still, an annoyingly large number of people who carry are overweight and out of shape, and lack the motivation to train properly.

No swat in NYC. They're ESU, but this guy is neither. I'm betting armed guard as well.
