Bearing a weapon and ordering someone to do something is an aggressive act for people who are not in law enforcement. If you do this and the other person pulls a concealed weapon and shoots you, then they can claim self defense. Literally, the people Rittenhouse shot would have been better off if they had just pulled a firearm and shot him rather than trying to disarm him or strike at him. Wisconsin rules.

The defense can introduce criminal histories if it is germane to the case. Was it germane to the case?
