Oh, that's an easy one. They are going to keep digging until they find something, anything, to arrest him for to "prove" they were "right" in the first place.
I think it’s cool to carry openly in Georgia, too. Obviously, it should be. It is legal. I don’t think you can carry a weapon openly in certain environments, same as w/ a concealed permit.
I am less certain of the wisdom, if not legality, of a minor carrying a weapon under the same circumstances in which an adult can. A 14 year old walking around town with a rifle is a little scary. Maybe I am missing something. In the woods, hunting, yeah. On a subway, I might avoid the yout.
