But I'm sure he was legally carrying until he threatened this guy.

Why would you say that? Did you miss this?

"Nyashanu has a history of weapons offenses. He brought a gun into a
tavern in 2012 and was convicted for carrying a pistol in 2002. He
also has convictions for obstruction in 2006 and reckless endangerment
in 2009."

*If* he was legally carrying, he sure shouldn't have been. If he was *illegally* carrying, that shows how ineffective laws really are.

Doesn't say anywhere that he was prevented by law from carrying a gun.
If what he was convicted of wasn't a felony, he would retain the
"right to bear arms."
