Police reported that a man, acting erratically, used a victim's firearm to fatally shoot him.
The victim had been exercising his legal right to openly carry the weapon when the suspect, identified as 36-year-old Kyle Capucci, managed to seize it.
Jeff Margetta, an educated gun owner, expressed concerns about open carry practices. "I see people open carry, and they do not watch their surroundings at all," he said. "And that's kind of a scary thought, because someone could come up behind them, take their gun, and then they're liable for what happens."

Firearms instructor Ken Ortega noted the rarity of such incidents. "It's not very often. There are only two documented open carry homicides that have happened in recent years. So it's really more of the anomaly," he said. Ortega emphasized the importance of using a level-2 or level-3 retention holster to prevent unauthorized access to the weapon.
Maggie Mordaunt from the Women's Defense Network highlighted various reasons individuals might choose to open carry. "They may feel strongly about just maybe exercising their right. They may feel strongly that... maybe they can't get a concealed carry," she said.
While open carry is legal in Nevada, firearms experts caution against it unless individuals are professionally trained and knowledgeable about the law.
The practice can also cause discomfort among the public, particularly visitors from states like California, where open carry is prohibited.
