Yes. I can buy the holstered handgun as self defense for the folks who were part of the riot. I cannot buy the "walking around with an AR trying to beat back the rioters"" as self defense. I'm sorry, but on no planet does someone drive that far and pick up an assault rifle while a violent riot is ongoing for self defense. That's not believable
