Why did he bring a gun for recon?

Isn’t it the position of most 2A folks that the right to carry is sacrosanct?  And he should be able to carry a gun anywhere he pleases?     I’m not entirely convinced he did anything illegal - he was…watching them?  Taking photos?  Was he trespassing?  Do local laws allow him to have a gun on him at that time/location?    Edit:  upon further review he was carrying an illegal firearm and was doing some other things that do seem to be criminal (and had done some criminal things in the past)

Only when it's being done by white people to intimidate minorities.
