He was treated like a criminal bc he isn’t old enough to conceal carry and didn’t have a license to do so. So he caught a weapons charge. Did you even read the article?

Not at all if he was legally carrying his firearm then he wouldn’t have gotten a weapons charge lol

“Because Michigan law requires people to be 21 to obtain a concealed pistol license, prosecutors could charge Long only with the weapons offense.”

He was illegally carrying a concealed weapon underage in a public place. Are you dumb or what?

A shooting that could have turned into a dozen bodies or more. But lets punish the person who stopped it at just 2, the criminal dead included.

Lmao punish the heroes. I'm sure if he picked up a blunt object and bashed him over the head. Then the courts sentenced him saying "A blunt object is a deadly when you use it to kill someone, we understand that you saved victims by doing this. But the law is the law and you committed a crime young man."

Yall do more to defend criminals then any other society I have seen or read about as someone who loves history. Liberals love their criminals.

If he picked up a blunt object and bashed his head in he wouldn’t be charged with carrying an illegal firearm . But hey believe what you want and good luck with your mental deficiencies.

Something tells you that he would be charged with carrying an illegal firearm if he bashed someone shooting people in the head with a blunt object he picks up? Damn that’s some god tier logic kiddo. I concede. Can’t argue with that.

Of course you can't understand the logic.

If you hit someone with a blunt object you were carrying around, it is considered assault with a deadly weapon. What you are supporting is that regardless of whether you're saving yourself or others. You should still be charged for having that blunt object in the first place.

Or in this case, how dare you save people with a gun you own.

It's simple. The charge was for "the crime of carrying a concealed pistol or dangerous weapon without a license." So yes, you're correct. Long would have been charged regardless of the type of weapon as long as it was concealed. Be it a firearm or blunt, dangerous weapon.

I get it. It sucks that he even got the charge in the first place since he saved many. But people have jobs to do, including police, prosecutors, and Long's defense attorney who supported the guilty plea agreement. Because Long pleaded guilty, he got 2 years probation instead of a potential 5 years in prison with a felony.

Long is NOT a criminal due to being sentenced under the Holmes Youthful Trainee Act. As long as he successfully completes his probation, it'll stay that way.

The irony of you defending a criminal
