Professor Jacob Charles Quoted in "A Heavily Armed Man Caused Panic at a Supermarket" -- New York Times

Professor Jacob D. Charles is quoted in the New York Times article, "A Heavily Armed Man Caused Panic at a Supermarket. But Did He Break the Law?"  The article considers the limited options police and prosecutors have when heavily armed individuals cause fear and panic in states with permissive gun laws.

Charles, a professor and gun law expert at Pepperdine Caruso School of Law, wrote in a recent blog post.
