Going forward, we could see more cases where the perceived threat of a firearm becomes the argument for attempting to justify a shooting, as the number of people carrying guns rises — especially those carrying them openly — according to Adam Winkler, a professor at UCLA School of Law and author of Gunfight: The Battle Over the Right to Bear Arms in America. “The law allows you to defend yourself if someone is threatening you, and a lot of people will see someone with a firearm and believe that person to be a threat,” he says. “That’s not to say gun carriers are always the ones who commit the crimes, but it leads to the possibility of more misunderstandings about someone’s intent.”
