So you think that the punishment/force by police/ICE should be higher on someone who has a concealed gun on their person even if they make no attempt at all to grab the gun and their hands are in plain sight
With all due respect, you have no clue whether he ever reached for anything or whether his hands were in plain sight the entire time.

But just the fact of having a gun on you should make it ok for police to shoot if they see it?
Everyone knows he wasn’t shot simply for possessing a gun. As others have pointed out that most people go years of carrying firearms and never being shot by police. They also don’t physically interfere with law enforcement and resist being arrested while in possession of a firearm. Would you advise someone in Pretti’s situation to interfere and to not compliantly put your hands behind your back and allow handcuffing? What would be your advice to someone else? Or would you say that Pretti did everything right and was smart to interfere and not comply while possessing a firearm? Just curious.

You worked with both? I doubt you ever did. You’ve been coddled most of your life.
Democrats are liars and thieves.
Republicans no better.
But not to the extent Democrats have proven themselves to be.

You seem to be forgetting his hands were not in plain site to all officers. He was involved in a physical confrontation with officers, people were yelling "Gun!" Not every officer had the same field of vision and would not have had the same perception of the situation. If the officer who fired believed he or other officers were in danger at the time he fired, then this is a lawful shooting. I have seen nothing that makes me believe that could not have been a reasonable belief by one of the officers based on his perception of the totality of the circumstances.
You are trying to take a incident that built over minutes and boil it down to a few frames that are slowed down an cover a couple of seconds which is barely enough time to draw a gun. In reality this happened so fast, that in that environment it is not even really an open question that the officer believed himself or other officers were in danger at the time the weapon was discharged.

So did Kyle Rittenhouse.
What did Rittenhouse do to keep from getting shot by law enforcement? Oh that’s right, he made himself not a threat…. Amazing how that part gets left off.

If a protest is peaceful, why would someone need a gun, though?

Let me see.
Today I think I’ll travel to a protest against ICE agents and strap on my hog leg. I’m going to totally ignore the fact that these men and women, lawfully executing these arrest warrants have been threatened with death, harassed, spit on, rallied against by the MSM and had their families doxed.
I’m going to totally believe that my being on the scene and armed will serve to rally our protestors and show that we aren’t gonna be pushed around.
Then, I’m going to willfully ignore the commands of several agents, multiple times as I attempt to help a fellow protestor.
Let me tell you who Alex was. Alex was a fricking dumbass who had zero idea what he was doing or danger he had put himself in.

“comply or die”
We have a duty to comply with lawful orders, like pulling over for a traffic stop. If you don't pull over, and even pull an OJ Simpson (low speed, no risk to others), you're getting pitted which may result in your death.

Pretti wasn’t being arrested for a 2nd amendment violation. He was being arrested for obstructing federal law enforcement. He wasn’t resisting tyranny or just exercising his right to carry.

That is nowhere near what I said, or even implied in any way whatsoever.
My statement in a nutshell, stands as this: Pretti would be alive, with or without a firearm, if he had chosen not to physically obstruct federal officers and then resisted detainment. The choice was his, and the fact that he was armed only should have reinforced the logic that it could go sideways really quickly if standing against armed LEO.
I don't think it's that hard to grasp. You go to fighting cops and suddenly your gun is produced and someone yells "GUN! GUN!", and then cops automatically go into reaction and self preservation mode, as they should. And it happens in fractions of seconds.

That really feels like the right to bear arms is significantly limited.
The right to bear arms is as unlimited as the right to suffer the consequences of stupid actions. A responsible gun owner would have never put themselves in that situation. And perhaps he was a responsible gun owner up until that point, but now he's dead and he catalyzed the entire situation.

He was not armed, some dufus with a badge was holding, and firing, his gun. Him and the shooter should both prepare their buttholes for federal prison. fricking idiots.

I bet. The FO part just wasn’t for him. He had been agitating since 8 that morning at various points. He was put himself in numerous situations he had zero business being in, the female terrorist egged him on to act and instead of acting like a reasonable human him he FAed.
And he absolutely resisted, attacked, and got in way over his skill set. And paid the price for his misguided sense of justice and idiotic behavior. Same as the idiot lesbian. They push, push, and the useful idiots (read you and those that smell like you) are too stupid accept reality.

Somehow I lived all these years.
It’s probably because I’m a good citizen who doesn’t cause problems and start stuff whilst armed. I want to live and keep experiencing the good life.

And brandish it toward federal agents AND fail to comply AND wrestle with those same agents AND fire said weapon in the agents presence then yes they can shoot you.

Do you really want to pull up that thread and see how that went for you?
Again, with this retard, was he, or was he not, purposefully interfering with Law enforcement?
