Until he was viciously attacked Kyle was in private property at the invitation of the owner. The “open carry” law doesn’t apply on private property. His attorney will argue he was forced into the streets by the aggressors.
And they’ll win on that point, too.

I agree. But from the video I saw, Rittenhouse appeared to be in the street at least part of the time. Is that correct?
I suppose it would be like a 12-year-old driving a car on private property, with his dad sitting right next to him. No laws are broken. But should that kid venture onto a public road for whatever reason, then the cops can get involved.
Unlike the majority of the folks here, I don’t think Rittenhouse is going to get off Scot-free. Too many Wisconsin Democrats want his hide. His life is going to be miserable for quite some time to come.
