I was enjoying some bacon & eggs at my local Waffle House on Sunday morning when I saw this...
The Camo-guy kept adjusting something in his lap. Then I got a glimpse.
This was in central Arkansas where we are very comfortable with firearms. We are a CCW state and quasi open carry. However, I'm not sure a revolver laying unholstered in your lap meets the intent of "open" carry.
The things you see...
On Edit: Can anyone ID the make of this revolver from the partial view?
Maybe he had a tip there was going to be trouble at the waffle house so he was prepared. That or he just likes attention. His wearing camo when he goes out to eat sort of makes me think it's the latter.
If he kept fiddling with the gun I would not want to be sitting on his muzzle side. IMO Just an ignorant look at me type.
Can't figure how the gun's held in place. Doesn't look like it's squeezed 'tween his legs. Also can't tell what's that slightly curved stick (?) with the silver band.

Looks like it might be a cane or walking stick to me.

Now this is a Crazy idea, but could that not be a real gun, but, that the stick mentioned above is a cane and the handle is in the shape of a revolver????????????

It's either a cane or a VERY long-barrelled (and not too straight) revolver.
The cane pic you posted does look like the revolver in my original pic. After a quick search, I found a similar "revolver cane" complete with a sword in it!

He bought a novelty cane to attract attention, and it worked!
I carry one less obvious: it has built-in high voltage. One quick SNAP! and every dog within 20 feet notices and avoids.

I take it you don't live in the south? Camp is everyday wear, casual, work and even dressers. And pretty common to hit waffle house after a day of hunting. But to the topic at hand as an avid open carrier I find this act to be....dumb.
I think the black arm band is used to designate a potentially dangerous level of stupidity and thereby warns others not to get too close as it may be catching.

The "hump"in the grip matches the cane.
Are you familiar with a "bang stick"?
This is a 3 to 4 foot long stick or metal rod with a 1 shot screw together cartridge holder that is used on sharks or other big fish brought alongside of a sports fishing boat.
You un-screw the barrel/chamber, insert the cartridge, screw it back together.
When you jab something, the cartridge fires.
They are made with pistol or rifle or shotgun ammo.
I had one here I kept when I sold my offshore boat in 2006.
Mine is 223 cal.(5.56).
I have mounted the firing device on the end of my walking stick.
A walking bang stick.
You can see the green tip of the 55 gr projectile if you look.
Again, to fire it, you have to jam it against the object forcefully.

Reason: correct a bad sentence.
The man is not right. People like that are the reason I teach Boy Scouts firearms and refuse to teach CPL classes. If it's a cane gun or any other actual firearm he is violating the first rule of firearms safety.
On a more positive note........the waitress looks to be in good shape.
