There was nothing to indicate he intended to use his weapon.
So, why was he carrying a total of three magazines?
At no point did he reach for his weapon even while being taken down by the ICE officers.
I'm going to guess, from your question, that you never go about armed. Am I correct?
The quick answer is "that's a very normal thing for an armed Citizen to do."
I don’t think he was there to shoot cops. I think that under the circumstances of the violence and obfuscation by the mob toward the ICE agents that it is quite possible for some of them to think that could be the case.
It was something that happens in the chaos caused by the mob attacking and interference that did not have to happen had it just been a peaceful protest.
You are right. Unless he planned a mass shooting event in advance, he would not need those magazines to repel a mugger or a carjacker.
GOOD POINT
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
