If you approach law enforcement with a gun, there is a high likelihood they will be legally justified in shooting you. Don't do it! Video showed Pretti approach ICE with his phone in hand not a gun so he could record their actions.

The U.S. Department of Justice sued the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department on Tuesday, alleging it violated the Constitution by moving too slowly to process gun licenses for people who want to carry concealed weapons. The sheriff's department's unreasonable delays in granting licenses violates California residents' Second Amendment right to bear arms outside the home, the DOJ's Civil Rights Division said in a complaint filed in Los Angeles federal court. The Second Amendment protects the fundamental constitutional right of law-abiding citizens to bear arms, Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement announcing the lawsuit. Los Angeles County may not like that right, but the Constitution does not allow them to infringe upon it.
