I am very well aware that the entire deal was over the lawful carrying of a gun on his property and that was the reson that he was charged. However if you go into court trying to defend your right to carry a gun both the prosecuter and judge are going to point out that he was not charged with anything involving a gun but with his conduct. If the LEO admit that the only misconduct was that he refused to put his gun away then it is a clear case but they will have much more evidential testimony even if it is false. It would be like trying to defend yourself against anot having a drivers license charge when you were actually charged for speeding.
If someone is approached by a LEO and asked to see thier gun, rather than refusing they take a swing at the officer should the NRA get involved in defending them? This is the technicality I was pointing out. We all think or know that the charge is trumped up due to the gun but how about in the case where the guy takes a swing at the officer and is charged with assault. Just because it started with a gun does not mean it was only the gun involved.
