she violated the recently passed city law that prohibits civilians from bringing firearms to protests, the police said

At no point in time was anyone menaced or injured as a result of her possessing the firearm

Unless she was threatening someone (the article specifically claims she wasn’t), she will be acquitted. One does not have just one right at a time, one has all their rights all the time.

    Interesting case as Bruen seems to have made the local law invalid.

    OTOH, I don’t think was meant to be a test case. Sounds like someone saw a person with a gun, had a panic attack and called the cops.

    Although the councilwoman has a concealed carry permit, she violated the recently passed city law that prohibits civilians from bringing firearms to protests, the police said.

    Remember kids! If you practice one right, you must give up another!

    Lemmy: 1A blocked? RAGE!

    Lemmy: 2A? Meh, I’m fine with that.
