Lords are members of the ruling class, as opposed to members of the peasant class which is the rest of us. IT's someone who makes or enforces the rules that the rest of us (peasants) have to follow, but they don't. Examples: Knights, Nobles, police officers, government agents. He was a police officer, ergo, he used to be on the same team as those who would prosecute him today. I am guessing he will be treated much, much more leniently than a peasant private citizen would be under the same circumstances.

No doubt about it, but he still has the Right to self-defense and the Right to bear arms.

Any government that infringes upon those basic Rights is totally illegitimate.
