This only works in open carry states. In states where it’s not legal (which is a lot of them) armed protestors are just the pretext needed for some mass murder by the state.
Whoever carries a BB gun, rifle, or shotgun on or about the person in a public place is guilty of a gross misdemeanor. A person under the age of 21 who carries a semiautomatic military-style assault weapon on or about their person in public place is guilty of a felony. However, one may carry a pistol or a long gun openly with permit to carry a pistol because, the law states that the prohibition on carrying does not include the carrying of a BB gun, rifle, or shotgun by a person who has a permit under section 624.714.
In Minnesota it’s illegal to open carry a rifle, but only if you don’t have a pistol carry permit. If you have a pistol carry permit, you can open carry a rifle because the rifle law isn’t talking about people with pistol permits apparently.
It takes a form, up to 30 days to process, and lasts 5 years. And they can’t even deny you for smoking weed:
I’m not arguing for compliance. Just saying that in states like Maryland (where I live) there is almost no legal wiggle room for open carry and even the local cops (forget feds) will use it as an excuse to fuck you up.

Everywhere is different, but:

Guess you’re just gonna have to comply your way into a mass grave then. No other option.

Sad that the people of Maryland were compelled into forfeiting their rights. They’ve made their bed.
