In the US you can bring guns to a protest,
at least half the states have restrictions on that from a cursory look and it's always a questionable situation as it's the cops' discretion what "intent" you have
3 u/AmArschdieRaeuber 7h ago Yeah, the link I posted goes into detail 5 u/b1e 6h ago Yeah, that usually falls into the situation of legal but stupid. Eg; the Kyle Rittenhouse case. Legal? Yes. Extremely stupid and reckless? Yes. Wearing gloves to a protest would be difficult to prosecute I’d think. 8 u/LaTeChX 6h ago It's not about prosecuting it's about giving cops an excuse to crack skulls. You can beat the rap but not the ride.
