Is this not the reason the second amendment exists? Regards An Australian Edit: I’m not advocating for violence. More so “a well regulated militia” which could be established by protesters or Democratic Governors for genuine self defence.

    Sure. But protest organizers have a responsibility to create a clear policy and communicate this policy in an open carry state, and they also have a responsibility to properly vet any people that do communicate that they will attend with a firearm.

    The volunteer open carry person was not trained, and was not given any instruction as simple as “return fire only” or “do not shoot first”.
