Are there any lawyers here who might be able to tell whether or not legal precident has been set with this case? If he was charged as a regular citizen and found not-guilty, does that mean RI now considers it legal for any concerned citizen with a concealed carry permit to just roll up to a random parking lot, jump out their car and start shouting demands while brandishing a handgun?

Is it now legal to shoot people who try to run away from you by car for aiming a gun and yelling at them, or are we still "safe" because this ruling somehow can't apply to anyone else?
