IIRC they said the law said a minor could possess a gun (maybe a long gun?) either under supervision of an adult OR having a Hunter Safety course certificate.

Before I could drive (so younger than 16) I had a hunter safety card (MN) and would hunt rabbits and squirrel by myself. There MAY be a stipulation that one needs to be hunting.

Of course the guy that got shot in the arm by Kyle was a felon that was illegally carrying a gun. Just based on that I would call it a wash with regard to who was legally allowed to carry a gun or not.

Or- just keep bringing up the 2nd Amendment. I don’t have my pocket Constitution handy, so others will have to look into it regarding any age restrictions, crossing state borders, etc. that are stipulated in the Amendment.

BTW - I am also of the opinion that even a convicted felon has the right to have a gun once they are released. Of course, knowing that the person can have a gun once he leaves prison would warrant a much longer sentence if I were the judge!

If you read the entire article, you will see there is no requirement to be hunting.

The attacker with the pistol, Grosskreutz, did not have a felony conviction, so he may have been carrying the pistol legally. He may or may not have had a Wisconsin concealed carry permit.

Thanks for the explanation. Also, come to think of it, the lawyer told Tucker that KR was legally permitted to carry at 17 in Wisconsin, and he also made an argument about constitutionality: https://youtu.be/J2RJ-iv2VyQ?t=149
