In most states, including Minnesota, carrying a gun at a protest is legal

After the fatal shooting of concealed carry permitholder Alex Pretti, debate over gun rights added a new layer to the federal government’s aggressive immigration enforcement activity in Minneapolis.

Top Trump administration officials said because Pretti carried a handgun and ammunition, he planned to assassinate law enforcement.

The day after Pretti was killed, FBI Director Kash Patel discussed the case on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”

Patel said, “You cannot bring a firearm loaded with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It’s that simple. You don’t have the right to break the law and incite violence.”
