He had no business bringing his permit gun to a public event with law enforcement:

2025 Minnesota Statutes

Section 624.714

Subd
(3) deny the application on the grounds that there exists a substantial likelihood that the applicant is a danger to self or the public if authorized to carry a pistol under a permit.

It didn't become a danger until the ICE thug grabbed it.

What application are you talking about? Was he applying for something in the middle of getting beaten by goons?

"He may have been law-abiding, up until he tried to interfere with the arrest of a violent illegal alien. At that point, he was in violation of 18 USC §111 - penalizes one who “forcibly assaults, resists, opposes, impedes, intimidates, or interferes with" immigration officers. Penalty 1 to 8 to 20 years. Actively stepping in to interfere with the arrest, with or without a gun, probably put him in the 20-year category. If the officers felt threatened with their lives, that was far over the line. Even just creating a distraction puts officers in danger. There were probably several other laws violated."

It didn't go like that at all. An ICE goon shoved a woman down into the snow and Pretti went to help her.

Just one week before his death, Pretti impeded an ICE operation and got tackled by federal agents.

CNN’s report comes after it was revealed that Pretti’s parents reportedly told him not to do anything stupid before he impeded officers last weekend.
