My situational awareness level would be raised to Condition Yellow (DefCon 3).
I would then politely inform the idiot that Plaxico Burress put a round through his leg carrying his pistol in a very similar manner. I would also inform the "thug/idiot" that while not utilizing a holster could significantly reduce his chances for testicular cancer by means of inadvertent removal of one or both testicles, I would suggest that unless he preferred to self-castrate himself, he should invest $30-$50 in a good IWB.
lets assume that all bad guys don't have a holster when carrying. I did read somewhere that's true but don't know, don't ask bad guys if they have a proper holster to carry "the nine". anyways what would you do if you saw someone carrying a gun without a holster?

Hmmmmm...... First learn to read what is written grasshopper before your thought process kicks in, he refers to a Bad Guy, not a prim and proper LTCH'er.
Now let's eval this, op states that this is a BG that is carrying mexican style.
You really want to go all stupid on a BG and and tell him he's a idiot (because explaining the whole Plaxico thing would make him think exactly that), better yet do you think he'll give a crap about what you say or think before he turns you into his own personal pinata.
Personally I'll keep my spidey sense on full alert and get some distance between me and him.

Personally I also find carrying without a holster aka "Mexican carry" To be very stupid.
The only time I could see someone doing it, would be if like someone knocked on their door late at night, and upon seeing it was someone they knew, they stuck the gun in their waistband to answer the door without having a weapon drawn. But other then that I don't see it being very safe or practical. On top of that, I would be worried carrying a gun on a day to day basis without a holster, would get more sweat, or moisture on the gun's finish which could cause rust. Plus if you do carry without a holster you would also scratch your gun up more then with a holster. As some people I know have done it, and it has happened. Especially with their belt buckle rubbing against the slide or from the button on their jeans.
He said all bad guys carry without a holster. That's not the same as saying that all people who carry without a holster are bad guys. All you can assume is the guy without a holster MIGHT be a bad guy. He asked what we would do if we saw SOMEBODY carrying without a holster, and didn't specify that somebody was a bad guy.
If I said All Smokers are Stupid, that's not the same as saying All Stupid People Smoke.
All A are B does not lead to the conclusion All B are A.
Logical reasoning. Learn it.
actually, i'll go out on a limb here. could it be said that a person who would carry a firearm on a daily basis WITHOUT carrying said handgun in a holster be stupid? yeah, i think so. now, does being stupid make you a bad guy? maybe. so, in this case, A could equal B and B=A.
logical reasoning, think about it.
