What happens when someone assaults a speaker they don't care for in a concealed carry state?

Peacefully protesting is fine, but flagrantly assaulting a speaker in public? You deserve the consequences of your actions.

I wholeheartedly agree in the case of both the speaker and the protestor.

This "peaceful protest only!" is nonsense. No movement in US history gained traction without violence. We only look fondly upon the civil rights movement because we selectively remember the handholding and the "we shall overcome."

For every MLk there's a Malcolm X
