Federal School Zone Charges for Shotgun at Home
This video discusses the federal charges brought against Gabriel Metcalf for possessing a shotgun on his own property within 1,000 feet of a school in Billings, Montana. Despite no prior criminal history or violent behavior, Metcalf was denied bail and detained pending trial, with the judge citing his belief in the unconstitutionality of the Gun-Free School Zones Act and his assertion of the need for self-defense as reasons for potential non-compliance with release conditions. The case highlights the complexities and potential overreach of federal firearm laws, particularly in relation to school zones and individual rights.
