Some thing wrong here when a man pulls a gun to defend his property and gets arrested!
The video does not show him point the gun at any one but just holds it pointed down on his side! I guess you can't protect your property any more!..........Togor with your hate for Trump is that you giving the driver of the truck with the Trump sign the finger!..Lol

"Moment Trump supporter pulls a gun on ANTIFA rioter who tried to smash his truck's windows during clash between rival groups

Video captured demonstrators spraying paint across the windscreen of the truck, and smashing the tail lights, before the driver steps out with a gun and points it directly at Antifa

The driver, who was wearing an American flag sweater, was almost immediately apprehended by police

The tense moment was one of many clashes between left-wing, anti-fascist demonstrators and right-wing protesters Sunday near the Oregon State Capitol
The 'Freedom' rally was advertised as an event to honor those who 'fought for our freedoms'

Protesters on the sidewalks and in the street in Salem threw objects at a number of vehicles that drove by the Capitol with American flags

Stinking situation. Gentleman would likely have been okay if he'd not let the barrel of his pistol point in the general direction of the crowd. No idea what are the laws for cc in that local. Problem ... is deadly force permitted to protect property, etc. Sincerely. bruce.

yup

here in VA, you would need to demonstrate you fear for your life, or it would be brandishing at minimum

your truck is not your castle here,

so you keep your hands of your firearm until you need it,

Didn't see him point the gun deliberately so replayed it and a different video showed him swing the gun in the in the general direction of the crowd as he was lowering it to his side..

He didn't pull the gun until after he was maced. Wish I could be on the jury.

To win a fight don't get into one! The inmates are now in charge of the lunatic asylum that is a given. Abnormal is normal and wrong is right, so stay the heck out of the way. With the coming of warm weather and the degradation of society this will be an everyday occurrence unfortunately.

Re: More on the story. Cool. Not arrested ... sure looks like more than merely talking to the man. But, can only judge from the pictures, etc. Hopeful he will not be charged Hopefully those who attacked him will be charged to the full extent of the law. Sincerely. bruce.
