You can't pursue someone in self defense, at least normal people can't. Cops get away with that level of bullshit, but that's not relevant here.

Showing up to a protest with a gun is fine. According to the trial he didn't point at anyone until after he was chased.

    If someone has a rifle, they can shoot you from at least 100m. If you're worried about that happening your options are either to find cover, or close the distance to mitigate the advantage of the person carrying the rifle.

    He can run away fifty paces, turn around and shoot you whether you pursue him or not. Your best chance is to disarm him, especially if there's a crowd of people he could potentially target and not just you.
