That's a good question that I haven't seen answered. It could change the case because if the answer is "so I wouldn't have residue on my hands from discharging the weapon" then that's a whole different intent than him being there to protect property.

Kyle claims that he brought a med kit and came to the protests in case anyone needed medical help and to protect private property. He says he brought the gun for self-defense.
The motivations don't seem consistent with each other. For example, if you wear gloves because you feel you may need to treat someone's wounds and you don't want to infect them, wouldn't you also wear a mask to protect them from infections? And how do you treat people's wounds and simultaneously "defend private property"?

I was looking at clips of early Tea Party rallies to see how they were covered and this is an actual CNN headline: "Obama as witch doctor: Racist or satirical?" https://t.co/uYCDPMwTwspic.twitter.com/CMJJf51AVK
