Training on some range has nothing to do with where you can legally carry, nothing to do with the fact that when someone makes the conscious choice to attack you, chase you, stomp yiu, and try to shoot yiu 1) it isn't your fault & 2) you have the right to defend yourself.No, I just seem to be the only person who paid attention in my training classes. Before they ever allowed us on the range we had to demonstrate our understanding and knowledge of many aspects of handling and carrying a firearm, ,most importantly when you can lawfully shoot and claim self-defense.
Our instructors were very adamant that when you start carrying a firearm, you have to change your behavior if you don't want the emotional and financial expenses of being tried for UNLAWFULLY killing someone, if you're successful, and/or the possible loss of life and/or freedom if not.
You don't insert yourself into volatile situations, you put your ego in check and walk away from a lot of things that are nothing but stupidity and words which can only hurt your pride. You don't insert yourself into other people's conflicts and you learn how to deescalate certain situation if possible, if you can't, then just remove yourself from the situation. Protests can turn into riots or other dangerous situations not just from the rioters but from law enforcement as well if they can't distinguish you from the rioters, vandals looters, etc.
Kyle has no one to blame but himself for the situation he's in now. This is what happens when people with no background, training or knowledge of the law think it's okay to pick up a weapon (unlawfully) and travel across state lines with it (unlawfully) and join in "the fun".
People who don't possess the knowledge or common sense to keep their own selves safe, yet for some reason some of you think that it's not only lawful but a good idea for these same people to attempt to detain and//or arrest others for violations of laws. That is insane on it's face.
Those are matters of law and common sense.
