I believe the MSM is foogin up the “smoke” grenade’s he had......sensationalism to say grenade vs smoke grenade per se.....
I all too well remember the Luby’s incident here in Texas.....Hupps efforts drove the CHL / CCW cause home and got us what little we have today. I am grateful for that small blessing of the CHL she helped us get to protect me and mine.
I’ll bet it also turns out his “body armor” was just a mean looking cloth tactical vest.
