can anyone point to specifics about OC at protests, marches, etc... from what i am reading it seems OC would be legal at any 'picket line' or 'demonstration' as long as its not 'upon' any private healthcare facility or upon any public property.
mainly what im looking for information on is if its legal to carry at say a 'tea party' type event, as long as you are not on public property or a private healthcare facility. and what exactly constitutes a demonstration or picket line? i've read of a few 'open carry meets' where people walked public streets and handed out flyers. i've also read of the OC rally on NPS land last year. i guess the loop hole is that they were on national park property, not state owned property.
if i were to hold a sign or flag on a public street, marching or standing still, while open carrying, would i be arrested? would marching down a public street be considered a parade/demonstration and could i be arrested if OC'ing?
lastly, has anyone done anything similar to this and had any legal problems?
law is below:
Events Occurring in Public: It shall be unlawful for any person participating in, affiliated with, or present as a spectator at any parade, funeral procession, picket line, or demonstration upon any private health care facility or upon any public place owned or under the control of the State or any of its political subdivisions to willfully or intentionally possess or have immediate access to any dangerous weapon. §14-277.2
