Press conference said he was 37 years old, Minneapolis resident with a lawful carry permit. IOW, they murdered him for practicing his 2A rights

As an American and a Minnesotan there are laws that place him completely within his right to carry a firearm if he's doing it legally. Apparently 2A just went out the window this morning. Tread all over us I guess right?

It's important for us to oppose this even with the fact that he did have a gun, and I would say it's very very likely he did, but it's still an execution. You can see something in his back waistband, and you can see one of the agents reaching in that same area, and then he runs away after with what looks like a gun in his hand. He was shot AFTER that.

Concealed carry is legal here in Minnesota.

u/bakler5 Jan 24 '26
I am very aware, and that's another reason why the fact that he had a gun on him is not a justification for the shooting.

With a permit which has to be signed off on by the local sheriff after completion of a regulated class. It is much more restrictive than other states.
Edit to add that there is no procedural difference in open vs concealed carry in Minnesota. Both need a permit.

I'm sure they looked it up and verified that he was illegally carrying as they continued unloading a clip into the guy who'd collapsed to the ground and wasn't moving.

What I was meaning to say is that if you are legally concealing you have gone through a few hurdles with background checks, classes, etc. All of which is at a fair cost in time and money so not every gun nut can legally carry here.

The class is like a 1 hour seminar, and getting some form notarized takes like 30 min, having done it myself. But yes, some states don't even require that!

u/Throwaway10123456 Flag of Minnesota Jan 24 '26
Yeah I've done it as well but my class was 4 hours long and included proof of competency with shooting with both hands and with my non dominant hand. Not sure if that is a standard part. We are a shall issue state but it definitely takes an effort and leaves a paper trail.

I did not know this before but we're an open carry state. I asked a firearms instructor.

Maybe this is a hot take but owning a gun is a constitutional right. It does not immediately justify state murder.

u/bakler5 Jan 24 '26
That is the point entirely. What I am saying is, instead of people trying to say he didn't have a gun, accept that he did, and oppose the murder anyway. They (the feds) are now saying that the man approached them with the gun drawn, and there is already video evidence that isn't true.

u/mystedragon Area code 218 Jan 24 '26
Yeah, and they disarmed him BEFORE killing him. He at no point brandished the gun. Murderers.

u/bakler5 Jan 24 '26
Yes, and now they are going to push that false narrative and have already detained witnesses from the scene and are likely trying to confiscate video evidence.

u/-FalseProfessor- Common loon Jan 24 '26
So he was recording with his cell phone. We will probably never see that footage. Their line about him “brandishing” his gun is clearly false.

We need that other witness and her phone ASAP.

u/recycledfrogs Jan 24 '26
Looks like he is holding a camera and they are saying on TV that he approached them with a gun. Anyone see him with a gun?!!!!!!!

u/Decorah1 Jan 24 '26
I think ICE with the tan beanie, holding onto a can, was one of the two agents that shot that man

Minnesota is a concealed carry state, apparently no one cares about that even if that's the law.

More importantly, it was another case of them detaining someone for standing there and recording. Observing got this poor guy executed by fascist thugs.

I'm watching medias touch live stream. They shoot tear gas and once protestors start leaving it they start chasing them and arresting. I've watched them arrest two men (black of course) for literally walking away. The first man they threw in the back of a truck like an animal. He was yelling his name, that he's afraid for his life and that's done nothing wrong. It's horrific to watch

Guy appears to be recording. I hope we can get that recording before the feds delete it
