Yep. I've also heard of "disturbing the peace," which can be invoked, especially when Joe Bob waltzes into the local coffee shop with a military rifle slung over his shoulder and a demeanor that suggests confrontation. I've also heard of "obstruction," which can come up if someone's disruptive enough.

Agree. And that's where keeping calm and recording the event can keep you from getting trumped up charges if a cop wishes to do so. First off, I've learned from these videos (not just the ones that you linked) that people talk too much. If you tell the cop that you are within your rights, and he doesn't say "oh well in that case have a good day, bye bye", you won't convince him by saying it again, and again, and again. I would make boring videos. The cop in that first video handled the AR carrying guy very well. I think that is a case of reasonable suspicion that would hold up in court.

Why would a cop think I'm psychopath or guilty of illegally having a gun if I'm not doing anything wrong?
"Wrong" is subjective. A guy hunting in the woods is one thing. A guy walking down a busy roadway during rush hour with a revolver in his hand is another.

Tom, walking down a busy roadway with a revolver "in his hand" is wrong. Holstered where lawful, isn't.
