    The claim was the firearm was already in Wisconsin, no carrying over state lines necessary. As for the rest, I don’t think that state had any laws on the books re that firearm, wth open carry, iirc. After that it comes down to a court deciding whether or not the shooting was just, which was up to 12 people who were not us.

    Remember, every state has different gun laws, some of which have none, only leaning back on 2A as their one regulation.

    Regardless of the shooting circumstances, what kind of person do you have to be to allow yourself to be paraded around like this? Says something about his general mentality and implies sordid things about the shooting itself.

      People don’t seem to understand how strong the open carry law is in Wisconsin. I live in Milwaukee. The rules for the RNC were crazy. It had a hard zone that nobody, but the people attending the event could enter and a soft zone that people were allowed to be to protest which was further out. You weren’t allowed anything that could be used as a weapon in the soft zone, even water bottles weren’t allowed to be metal or hard sided. But, you were allowed to open carry a firearm in the soft zone.

        Explain gun law, get downvoted. But not by the Wisconsin guy who lives it. Lots of 2A states out there.

        I think the kid is a shit, but, technically, the carry part was legal.

          Yeah, blame the prosecutor for going after a charge they knew wouldn’t stick because it was performative. Or blame the law itself. It’s crazy, but what he did was legal.
