I don’t know about that. So I’ll play the devil’s advocate here. Let’s say there is unrest in my town. And I’m standing in my front yard with a rifle. Or maybe I’m standing at the end of my street with a rifle. I think most folks would say that my intentions were honorable.

But now let’s say I go to some other town 12 miles away and stand in the street with my rifle. Yes, I have every right to do that. Wisconsin is an open carry state. But are my intentions still as honorable?

Side note: Before anyone yells at me too much, please understand that I’m not talking about how I might see it. I’m talking about how a jury might see it.

If I’m on the jury; yes.

I have walked 10 miles at least 4 times and 20 miles too. It isn’t far if you are committed. And he wasn’t standing in the street he was going to the car lot. He could have been related to the owners, you don’t know. He was attacked and he retreated twice, trust me those aholes would have killed him, they were going to. He did very good totally defensive but a snap shot. I would have him on my group.

Yes. To think otherwise is to believe that the intentions of our Marines, soldiers, sailors, and airmen, along with law enforcement officials working outside of their own neighborhood are not as honorable as they would be if they were taking action in their own neighborhood.

Do you really think what the young men and women of our military are doing overseas is less honorable than what they would or could be doing here at home?

But it’s OK for “peaceful protesters” to cross state lines with incendiary devices, guns and whatnot to come and threaten your neighborhood? Wake up
