The report makes it sound like they already had their minds made up that he was up to something just because he had a gun. Where I live it isn't illegal to walk down the street with a gun and no cop will mess with you just for doing so. I didn't see where it happen. Maybe it's not legal there.

I don't think open carry applies in this situation. Open carry refers to a holstered weapon on the hip or a rifle with a sling. Maybe if this airsoft gun had a two-point sling and was on his back... I don't know. Even people that open carry in their respected states know the law and wouldn't actually hold the firearm and walk around.
