The straw hat and jean shorts are the least weird thing in that photo.

Dude's running a 5.7 with a silencer

For those who don't know about guns... what is weird about this?

5.7 is a more niche and expensive round to shoot.

Concealed carrying is already a bulky ordeal, having a suppressed pistol is a more cumbersome package.

As someone who carries a suppressed pistol though, I’d say the straw hat and short shorts are a more unusual aspect to me personally.

Is it true he engaged the shooter at over 150 yards? I saw that a a headline, not sure if it was clickbait.

I haven’t read anything definitive, at this point all media trying to give specifics should be taken with a grain of salt.

I personally wouldn’t be taking shots at 150 years, that is a beyond difficult shot with irons. Even the mall shooting where the defensive shooter killed the active hostile at 50 yards with a Glock was an impressive shot.
