The case can only be appealed if Gabriel Metcalf was found guilty, either by pleading guilty while reserving the right to appeal, or by being found guilty at trial.

Judge Susan Waters, in Billings, MT, is the only judge which has ruled the Gun Free School Zone act does not infringe on the rights protected by the Second Amendment.

“No evidence would be allowed showing valid reasons to possess the firearm for the defense of self and others.”

“The constitutional argument would not be allowed at trial.”

“The recording of Gabriel Metcalf calling federal officers to ask for help because of perceived local police misconduct would not be allowed at trial.”

“An estoppel defense, where the defendant relies on information given by local police, would not be allowed.”

It escapes me how defense arguments like the above, especially the Constitutional one, can be disallowed.
