Long story short: A rapper from Georgia had a run-in with another rapper in California. The man from Georgia had a Georgia concealed-carry permit and was packing in California. The California rapper was carried out feet-first and turned out to be unarmed. The Georgia guy was charged with murder, went to trial, and was acquitted last week.

No mention of whether or not he was charged with unlicensed carry of a concealed weapon.

The newspaper says the defendant was acquitted on every count, whatever the charges were.
I'm surprised they didn't nail him on a weapon charge. That's part of the reason that I posted this factoid. I wonder if he had a >10-round magazine.

Is he related to Billy Joe Shaver?

I don't see a family resemblance. Maybe in-laws.
