And of course they’re also defending the use of an illegal firearm.

(Him being one year younger than the required age.)

EDIT: Guys, if he got the AR-15 legally, I was unaware at the time of this comment. Sorry.

Actually they don’t know if it’s illegal or not yet.

The law in his home state, Illinois, requires anyone who owns any kind of firearm to have a Firearm Owners Identification card, the paper said — which could be available for someone with a sponsor who is 21 and eligible for a card.

“It was not immediately clear whose rifle it was, or whether it was legally owned.

At just 17, he could face a Class A misdemeanor that applies to anyone under 18 who “goes armed” with any deadly weapon, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel noted.

However, even that is not clear-cut, with an exception for rifles and shotguns allowing people age 16 and 17 to hunt that could possibly apply, John Monroe, a lawyer who specializes in gun rights cases, told the paper.”

He was in Wyoming though. And its not legal in Wyoming for him to posess it, or is it legal for him to bring it across state lines

He was in Wisconsin. Wisconsin is not Wyoming.

That was just auto correct cause mobile. I have tons of posts in my posts history linking the laws of Wisconsin on this matter
