Pure self defense. He will walk. This nonsense about his age and state lines is 1000000% irrelevant. The people he shot got what they deserved.

My guess is he'll be found guilty or pled guilty to something.

Justice in America is determined by who's sitting on your jury.

Agree completely. However that is not how this is going to go down. "justice" is not just.

Most people would get damn nervous if someone walked around holding a pistol in their hand, open carry laws or not. I think that it would be, if nothing else, courtesy to carry a long gun in public in a scabbard- the long gun equivalent of a holster- unless you think you actually need to draw it.

A long gun holster is called a sling

No, there's actually something called a scabbard; think of a soft case that's open at one end. Traditionally used with saddles but they usually can be slung.

Wouldn't carrying slung rifle be the same as carrying a pistol on a lanyard?

When is the last time you have seen a lanyard used as the exclusive carrying mechanism for a defense handgun? WW1?

If it was a single-point sling, I would think you had a point.

How Guns Twist the Logic of Self-Defense Laws

Postby LumberZach on Sat Sep 19, 2020 7:39 am

It seems to me a lot of people were in the Minneapolis riots protecting businesses with AR-15’s in the same fashion Kyle was. Only difference was nobody attacked the people in Minneapolis so no one was shot and it didn’t make the news.
