I'd have no problem with him carrying a weapon if it was being done so legally. I don't know the local laws there but if it's allowable there, why not apply for a carry permit? This is one of the types that these special permits are provided for. Part of the reason for the regulation and requirement for permits is that someone that is licensed is also more likely to have training that would lessen the chance of this exact sort of incident happening. He's still a fool. I'm not 100% sold on him doing time if he's not had any run ins before. That does seem excessive given the circumstances but we're not even talking about this if it wasn't such a serious issue and he wasn't knowingly doing something he wasn't legally permitted to do.
