Imagine having a mindset of needing to bring a gun while going out drinking

There is no problem with that mindset the issue is intentionally picking a fight to shoot someone who pissed you off. (Keep in mind I'm not saying that's what he did just what is implied by the state in the charges brought)

Someone had sucker punched him in the bar first. He reacted to being suckered. Not excusing his actions but context is important.

He walked outside looking to continue the fight, he could have got in someone's car or uber and it would have been over. Self defense won't stand.

Right, and he got pissed. If they had been no gun involved maybe he might have sucker punched the guy back out on the street and it would have just been assault or something like that. That's exactly the whole point. He brought a gun. Or God forbid, just left. But no no way too much testosterone for that

This is true, and this is also why innocence is assumed rather than guilt as the prosecution could be full of shit. people say the video is damning though from my perspective it is vague minus the part you just reference so witnesses are the key to this case.

Outside, in the video, he is surrounded on three sides, then gets suckered again. On video. The sucker punch was enough to lacerate his temple, so Pouliot must have been wearing rings, or potentially brass knuckles, which now covers assault with a deadly weapon. No one is innocent in this case, but it’s preposterous to rule without hearing all the facts from both sides, that Delee could not have had any reasonable suspicion that his life was in danger.
