... both the PD and the FF will be paying this guy big big bucks when all is said and done. He threatened nobody and broke no laws, not even trespass because the store had no signage prohibiting carry.
Found guilty of (apparently misdemeanor) Making a False Report.
Among other things, sentenced to Remedial Gun School.

Dmitriy Andreychenko, 20, pleaded guilty in a Greene County courtroom Friday to an amended charge of making a false report.
"There were suspicions and probable cause for a manner of different crimes," says Greene County Prosecutor Dan Patterson, "but ultimately when the investigation was concluded, I believe this, causing a false report to be made, is the appropriate charge."
...
A judge sentenced him to a 180 day suspended jail sentence, two years of probation, with special conditions requiring him to serve 48 hours shock incarceration in the county jail (which he already did in August), receive firearms training, and participate in a victim-offender dialog, a restorative justice measure, and any community service established through the restorative justice proceeding.
Some rights a strengthened if exercised; others lost or weakened.
Do you not understand if nobody ever exercised a right it’s the same thing as not having it?
Quartered a lot of troops in your house lately, have you?
What kind of coffee do you serve them?
If we want to talk about the smartest thing for our 2A CCW national reciprocity cause would have been an average joe CCW ,near the front of the store, who actually killed this guy, and then the newspaper headline would read "ccw man stops next mass shooting at walmart from killer dressed in body armor and ar15"
You're on to something.
I'll bet there are
many jurisdictions where
if the off-duty fireman had panicked and done a canoe job on the guy
instead of merely holding him at gunpoint for the cops,
he'd have skated.
I wouldn't claim the fireman would receive adulation
and a Strange New Respect from the MSM,
because
that harshes the narrative.
Actually, it would probably be spun as
"gunfights breaking out at Walmart - ban gunz!"
And if the bereaved widow in the parking lot made a convincing case
that the AR and plate carrier were
just a brainfart
to troll Walmart's commitment to the Second Amendment
(as if
that was in question) -
then the fireman
might have lost a civil suit for wrongful death.
But in
some places,
swanning about with a rifle and armor Because RKBA
will get you shot with impunity, Because RKBA.
