Oh course it'll stick, He crossed state lines to do it.

It’s legal if he has a license in both states. Not saying he did just that you can do it with the proper license.

Not that. It's not about the licence. He crossed state lines and committed the crime, was not protecting "his" property and generally had no business being there as he personally was in no danger. That's the crime. It will stick big time.

His home is in Antioch, Illinois, literally right beside the Wisconsin border. The "crossing state lines" thing seems overblown to me.

Still a Federal crime.

You don’t get jail time for it.

None of which matters to the charges. The charges are murder 1 the defense is fear for your life in that moment. Everything else is irrelevant.

He will be convicted of something that puts him away for a long time, but premeditated murder is a huge stretch and done for political theater and to get him to plea.

If I legally cross state lines and someone tries to assault me like what happened here I absolutely have the right to protect myself.
