But we do know that Dunn violated one of the the first rules of concealed carry--AVOID CONFRONTATION.
There may or may not have been a gun in the other vehicle, but before I confront anyone, I know that if they can get out of sight, for even an instant, they will ditch any weapon, illegal substance, stolen goods, or other incriminating evidence they have. Of course they will collaborate on manufacturing testimony, evidence and anything else. The state will not look very hard at them or question them to any great degree.
If my life is in danger, of course I will defend myself, but I am not going to let loud music lead to a confrontation. I will just listen to it and think that this is one reason these guys are unemployable and will always be poor.
We may not like it, and it may be wrong, but I am not ever going to ask a carload of any minority to do anything polite. I may have to swallow some indignity, but I am not going to get a life sentence for it.
No question that Dunn is guilty of felony stupid.
However to convict him required proof beyond a
reasonable doubt. As a juror I would have a reasonable
doubt that a car full of trouble makers did NOT have a
weapon and did NOT display it. Therefore I would not
find guilty on that charge. He will however pay in full
for the attempted charges as he is not one of the badge
wielding anointed who ARE allowed to fire at departing
vehicles with impunity.
