Kash Patel’s claim that Alex Pretti “broke the law” by carrying a firearm is not going down well with “deeply concerned” defenders of the Second Amendment.FBI director Kash Patel is drawing heat from gun rights advocates after he suggested that carrying firearms at protests is illegal in the wake ofBut gun rights advocates were quick to point out that lawful permit holders, as Pretti was, can legally carry firearms at protests and rallies.
“This is completely incorrect on Minnesota law. There is no prohibition on a permit holder carrying a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines at a protest or rally in Minnesota,” MN Gun Owners Caucus wrote.There is no prohibition on a permit holder carrying a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines at a protest or rally in Minnesota.The group’s statement later read: “Every peaceable Minnesotan has the right to keep and bear arms—including while attending protests, acting as observers, or exercising their First Amendment rights. These rights do not disappear when someone is lawfully armed, and they must be respected and protected at all times." Patel claimed that Alex Pretti's carrying of a gun was illegal despite holding a permit, and told Maria Bartiromo that the FBI currently had the weapon.Despite Governor Walz and Minnesota Police Chief Brian O’Hara claiming that Pretti had a permit to conceal carry, key figures in the Trump administration have argued that a gun shouldn’t have been brought to an area of Border Patrol activity, and that its two full magazines left the agents with no choice but to act.“This individual who came with weapons and ammunition to stop a law enforcement operation of federal law enforcement officers committed an act of domestic terrorism. That’s the facts,” she said at a news conference on Saturday. Pretti was branded a 'domestic terrorist' by Kristi Noem, while Patel judged that 'no one who wants to be peaceful shows up at a protest with a firearm.'Noem added: “This looks like a situation where an individual arrived at the scene to inflict maximum damage on individuals and to kill law enforcement.” Meanwhile, Kash Patel echoed support for Noem’s remarks earlier in the interview. “As Secretary Noem said, no one who wants to be peaceful shows up at a protest with a firearm that is loaded with two full magazines. That is not a peaceful protest, and you do not get to touch law enforcement,” he said.
