I agree.... the other observations I have with this shooter are these:As stated, shooter had a CCW and had since 2018. after being arrested, the sheriff in the county the permit was issued revoked the status.
As said by @Redmanss, Pinkerton security has a LONG history of being dirtbags. Hiring a a guy for this job through a secondary contractor agency appears to be just a way to collect some $ but attempt to insulate themselves from stuff like this.
Dude did not have appropriate paperwork/license to be 1. a security guard for pay in Denver and 2. carry an "armed" endorsement.
Dude is a leftist and a Bernie Bro who decided fighting armed for his beliefs was ok.
The pics and videos I have seen sure make it tough to see he followed the CO CCW laws.....
1.) he had to be fairly well heeled... the rig he was carrying was around $600 for the 19 MOS, another $400 for the Trijicon RMR and around $200 for the new compact Streamlight..
2.) he was carrying charged... from the photos there was no move to pull the slide to arm the chamber... he was a major accident waiting to happen, or he intended fast fast action...
carrying a charged chamber to a conflicted protest rally is, to me, evidence of intent... just waiting to be incited.. the guy needs fried but in Colorado not likely...
I hope he was not a USCCA member... if he was, then there has to be a cold decision made on that side regarding his defense
