Why do you note non-villains? What are you getting at? I sense you're trying to get at something, but you haven't revealed it yet.

I wouldn't necessarily have concern at seeing "an ordinary citizen" with a firearm. When I wrote "in public" I meant, let's say, in my state where it would be illegal, if I saw a stranger holding a pistol in Walmart in the frozen fish section, then yes, I would be immediately concerned -- which would trigger me to analyze the person and situation... at it's conclusion, I may very well no longer be concerned.

A non-villain in a horror film like The Thing 82, or a non-villain in Evil Dead, or a non-villain mentally disturbed person, in a flash could become either villainous or simply dangerous to the other non-villains.
