72. It has to do with the fact Black stored it at home

Thu Nov 25, 2021, 11:38 AM

Nov 2021

The agreement, such as it was, is that the gun was to be stored in Black's stepfather's gun safe until Rittenhouse turned 18. And until that day, that was the case. He hasn't been charged with a straw purchase.

Given that Rittenhouse could legally possess the gun, it's now a question if Black's charges will hold up or if they'll be dismissed at his next hearing.

Wisconsin needs to clean up its gun laws. I thought for sure he was going to be convicted on a gun charge. Shocked the hell out of me to see the tangled mess of that law.
