FWIW, the people who live in Adams County are bat-shiite crazy to begin with. Not a good place to pick a fight and flash a gun, LOL!

In WA that would have been an illegal transfer of a firearm punishable by heavy fines and jail.

The charge of carry where alcohol is served is wrong

In wi you can carry in a bar or where alcohol is served as long as you aren’t drinking alcohol. its not being there thats the issue, its the drinking thats the issue.

He was a felon in possession, which should trump everything.
