By having a gun and taking his self to the location where officers were attempting to arrest a criminal, he alone set into motion the chain of events that happened.
If he "brandished" the firearm then that was stupid and probably illegal. If he had it properly holstered then there is nothing wrong with that.
There is nothing wrong with carrying a firearm as you go about your daily business in and of itself.
Obviously if one is armed it would be generally wise to not resist if/when law enforcement wants to detain you. One would be well advised to politely inform the agents they do not consent to a search or seizure but they will not resist.
I still have not found very much information about why the agents wanted to detain him in the first place.
There hasn't really been enough information for me to make an informed decision about what happened.
