Story history — History and later developments — spoilers

Jack rejects the standard uniform and supplements his ring with a gun. The Guardians’ compromise lets him continue with restrictions and review; that is more specific than an unlimited, unique license to kill. He is presumed lost after Emerald Twilight and recovered during the Lost Lanterns story. His later death at the hands of a Parallax-possessed Kyle occurs during the Sinestro Corps War, not Emerald Twilight.
