Dmitriy Andreychenko, the 20-year-old arrested after walking around a Missouri Walmart with a rifle while wearing body armor, said that he wasn’t going to shoot anybody and merely wanted to test his Second Amendment rights.

Andreychenko entered a Springfield Walmart on Aug. 8 and walked around with an AR-style rifle slung across his chest over a ballistic vest, the Springfield Police Department said in a probable cause statement.
