@imnotalawyerbut: Dearborn, MI - 19 year old Martinez Long pleaded guilty last week to illegally carrying a concealed firearm - but the circumstance in which he was carrying the firearm is what makes this case interesting. Back on July 3, 2026, a fight broke out between 2 men. One of the men, Cameron Watkins, shot and killed the other man, shot another person and proceed to shoot recklessly in the mall. Martinez responded by shooting Watkins. Martinez wasn’t charged for the killing, because prosecutors agreed it was self defense, but he was charged with illegal carrying. Listen to the judges remarks and weigh-in

“You have to think before you act” that’s actually what he did right 🧐

Hey, its a second chance in my eyes. I feel like if there was ANOTHER judge, it could’ve been worse.

I think the judge was overlooking the fact that this young man may have saved lives while having to shoot the gunman.

It’s unfortunate he was penalized for protecting others. I do think the judge was as lenient as he could be with the situation at hand… If Martinez follows protocol, he’ll be good

Seems like the judge didn't understand what happened really because his thinking may have actually saved more lives.

Probation is far but 2yrs is a long time. One hiccup within that 2yr then they will have this young man roped. The schooling and therapy yes I 10000% agree with that part
