^ Yeah, even after Mark Hughes did the smart and right thing by voluntarily turning his rifle over to police immediately after shots rang out, the police put him in danger by circulating his photo and identifying him as a suspected cop killer.
I too understand that it was a chaotic time for police, but I'm sure glad he wasn't shot down by a cop or a vigilante when he was a mistakenly 'wanted' man who was assumed to be armed and dangerous.
Hughes would have been safer not to carry the rifle to the protest at all, in my opinion. But, his second amendment rights and state carry rights are no less than anybody else's.
