Someone in Kenosha gave him the rifle, and according to his lawyer he is not a prohibited because it is not a Short Barreled Rifle, or sawed off shotgun, and Wisconsin is an open carry state. Every chronology of video evidence shows that this was self defense, including an interview with a reporter who was interviewing him , before he was chased, and was there when the first guy was shot.. Everything the reporter has detailed to police shows that the first guy was trying to take the rifle, for no reason other than he thought he was a tough guy who could get one over on a younger person.

You can't carry a firearm in WI at 17 unless you are hunting. A friend gave it to him which could lead to accessory charges. You also can't shoot someone just because they might be about to or are damaging property.
The homicide charges are extremely serious, I don't think a self defense claim is going to fly when you intentionally put yourself in the situation with a weapon. It will be interesting to see if the can conclusively prove what led to the first shooting. Expect his social media activity to get a lot of scrutiny.
His defense should be I'm dumb, immature and listened to too much Trump.
