I think I understand what you're saying, but I'm not sure why it matters. That is the point of CCW for the vast majority of the population after all--not becoming a sheepdog operator but looking out for one's own hide. Nothing wrong with that and no reason he shouldn't be interviewed by Ayoob nor featured in The Armed Citizen.
Yes, understood.
I'm just pointing out he's not going to willfully (re)interject himself into the news cycle on that basis, which could have kept the story going.
Also as Monkeyleg can attest first-hand from the days we were trying to get CCW passed, there's a great deal of antipathy from the black Milwaukee community towards CCW, the general consensus being "
It's better our (criminal) kids get away with it, than get shot..." Since the victim/shooter is black, it's likely he'd distance himself from letting himself be used, or volunteering as some sort of pro-RKBA figurehead. The idea that urban blacks who bear the majority of the crime in the state of WI at the hands of their own neighbors would benefit the most from CCW doesn't play into it. Plus the usual divide of resisting anything perceived as being suburban/rural, conservative, and "white".
Since school choice, despite the black support for it, has never become a successful wedge issue, no way in hell CCW will be in this decade or the next.
Well, unless they send Colin Noir down with lots of hip NRA swag to woo him or something.
