re: #167 klys

I don’t think I’m arguing that the law allows it?

I’m just pointing out, like kirkspencer, that those pictures themselves are probably not sufficient evidence in the court of law by themselves to convict, particularly in an environment with a half-way competent defense attorney and/or jurors who feel sympathetic to the defendant.

Think about the tweets you read.

Consider that those people, just like you and I, with all our critical thinking, are also considered for serving on a jury.

A federal trial in Vegas might stand a good chance at conviction. When you take a hunter safety course one of the things they’ll often stress is that “scoping” a game warden, even at distance to identify them as one, can easily get you a felony charge. The split second you recognize the form of a human being you need to put the gun down, pointed in a safe direction.
