I love how this is OMG GUN but you’re welcome to open carry in parts of the RNC. The only issue is the kid was carrying concealed and didn’t have a permit.
Also, love the “empty bags used for carrying marijuana”. Like say “bags with marijuana residue” or something like that. They way they’ve phrased it, Walmart carries this with their garbage bags, with the name “Ziploc” on them.
- “empty bags used for carrying marijuana”.
  Reminds me of this BS.
  
  Even someone with warrants is innocent.
The fuck is an AK-47 pistol
- Technically? An AK-47 with a barrel length less than 16" and no shoulder stock.
  
  TIL they only have a 16.3" barrel. Neat.
But guns are supposed to be allowed, right? They LOVE guns there!
so most republicans don't do concealed carry. is it all just lip service on the gun thing? do as I say not what I do?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A man arrested on Monday close to the venue of the Republican national convention in Milwaukee had a concealed AK-47 pistol, a fully loaded rifle magazine, a flashlight and black gloves, and a mask from the slasher movie Scream inside his backpack, a court document has revealed.
That same day Donald Trump made his first public appearance at the convention following the attempt on his life by a gunman in Pennsylvania.
Tinsley was wearing a ski mask and black gloves, and carrying a large backpack which hung low at his waist, suggesting to law enforcement officers that it was heavy.
The court document, a criminal complaint filed on Wednesday by the Milwaukee county district attorney’s office, disclosed other items in the backpack.
The unusual sight has become a visual meme, with many delegates to the convention wearing mocked-up ear bandages in a display of sympathy.
On Tuesday, a man said to be holding two knives, was shot and killed by police about a mile from the convention center.
The original article contains 445 words, the summary contains 168 words. Saved 62%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
You need a permit to carry a concealed weapon in Wisconsin, TIL.
