Sure you have, but carrying a gun also comes with both responsibility, and also may be interpreted that you would use the weapon. To be clear, I'm not arguing the point that it's illegal to carry a gun to a protest, but that it's just not wise.
Ah, there appears to be video material indicating Pretti's gun going off: https://youtu.be/JFSBPEQYSFE?si=hWz6bthbUtOmprhh
This video also mentions a likely accidental go-off of the weapon https://youtu.be/QePoawDA_48?si=0mr-lMR_lIRoBDA_
I mention it because it it isopined to be likely. We'll hopefully eventually know what whent off and why.
Then why even make the statement?
Your point about that it's not wise to have a gun on you or flee is completely irrelevant to fact that official officers killed people for it.
Why also not state that it's unwise to go outside because you might be killed by a police officer?
And again was it unwise for tea party, anti government lock down and j6 rioters to have guns on them?
