Jesus C. Gonzalez (born December 16, 1986) is an American man from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, known for a gun rights civil lawsuit, as well as being convicted of a reckless homicide shooting. == Open carry lawsuits == Until November 2011, Wisconsin was an open carry state for the purposes of gun control. Under state law it was legal to carry a loaded, visible handgun, but concealing that gun (even by a jacket covering the hip) was illegal. In May 2008, Gonzalez entered a Menards store with a pistol openly displayed in a thigh holster.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Video Surveillance of Jesus Gonzales in Menards )〕 An employee called the police to report a man with a gun in the store; meanwhile a different employee asked Gonzalez to leave. Gonzalez left without incident, but was confronted by police outside the store. He was arrested for disorderly conduct, as was a common practice in many Wisconsin jurisdictions that did not approve of the practice of open carry by civilians. In April 2009, Gonzalez entered a Chilton Walmart while openly carrying a gun, and attempted to buy ammunition for a different weapon. The store manager called 911, and Gonzalez was again arrested for disorderly conduct. Eventually charges were dropped in both cases, but Gonzalez sued in federal court, claiming that his Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights had been violated due to the arrests.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Lawsuit challenges open carry )〕 In this case Gonzales was represented by John Monroe, a noted Georgia gun rights lawyer. Federal judge Lynn Adelman, of the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Wisconsin, ultimately dismissed the lawsuit, arguing that officers had probable cause for the arrests.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Gonzales v. (Milwaukee & Chilton) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Open-carry lawsuit against Chilton denied by federal court )〕 This ruling however caused a Circuit split as it conflicted with an earlier ruling from a district court in Georgia. This split has not yet been resolved by the Supreme Court.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Lake Land Times - Federal court: Open carry of guns is disorderly conduct )〕 In September 2010, Gonzalez appealed against the dismissal of his civil rights case.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Open carry advocate appeals civil rights case )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Gonzalez v (Wisconsin) Appeal )〕 Meanwhile the Wisconsin attorney general has issued guidance to district attorneys and law enforcement stating that under Wisconsin law, and Wisconsin interpretation of federal law, open carry in and of itself does not create an arrestable offense.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Open carrying of firearms legal, Van Hollen says )〕 Additionally, Wisconsin has passed a concealed carry law which took effect in November 2011. In February 2012, the appeals were dismissed, with U.S. Circuit Judge Diane Sykes ruling that the officers involved had qualified immunity, as it was reasonable for the officers to believe they had probable cause for disorderly conduct, as well as possible confusion regarding the legality of open carry at the time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=7th Circuit affirms dismissal of gun rights activist's civil rights claim )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jesus C.
