When I see shit like this it is always 1-2 people doing it. To really send a message they needed more people. Think of all those protest marches. What I would have loved to have seen was the guy getting harassed by the DHS and then OC reinforcements show up. I'm talking about 30-50 people. And not just moseying on up, I would like to see a full on march or a fucking charge complete with someone carrying the flag, gold fringed if need be. Think about it. The DHS cops think they got the situation with 1 guy when a horde of OC people show up and surround them.
Now that might sound like a whacked out idea.....that same fucking shit went down in places like Ferguson last year and spread like wild fire. Hell, I would pay good money to see some OC person dressed up like William Wallace, complete with face paint yelling CHARGE!!!!!!!!!!!! and start running up. |

HOWEVER, maybe upon review of the youtube video that AUSA supervisor may have a change of mind. By the letter of the law the open carrier did violate the law when he entered upon the property, not the building. Property covers up to the sidewalk, I'm sure the debate between USMS and AUSA was on Fed property accessible to public vs. inside Fed property controlled by FPS/GSA/USMS. AUSA cannot handle anything but slam sunk cases apparently. Any non successful prosecutions are a big black mark. Unlike state and local. Which apparently sate law differs from fed whereas he has to enter or attempt entry. And who knows if that means in the entrance foyer or at security screening. The open carrier got what he wanted. What he did does not help open or CCW carriers. Now watch as someone will put forth a law preventing anyone withing XXX feet from any g building from being armed and it will pass. Way to go fucko. |

Appurtenant is not synonymous with adjacent. Appurtenant could mean a lot of things and is not ascertainable without looking at the land records, or the (usually not publicly accessible) leases. It could include non-adjoining parcels, like an parking lot or annex to a court that GSA has leased. It could include easements for access. It could include lots of things not readily ascertainable by the public. Which is why the terminology in that statutory provision is problematic. |

He said he was exercising the 10th amendment. But it sounded like he mentioned a specific case before the mention of the 10th. That's when the officer asked him about case details. Besides, 10th Amendment doesn't even make sense because regulation of federal property is an explicit power delegated by the Constitution. Or, was he protesting a specific case that may somehow involve the 10th? Either way, the actions of the Marshall and DHS seem to be within the proper scope of their duties. Most of the people going in and out of the building are unarmed, unarmed by specific legal statute. The plurality consensus of this website seems to be "well if a property owner is going to prohibit carry, then they need to guarantee your safety". Ok, so here we are with federal officials trying to balance a myriad of constitutional issues against the safety of those doing legitimate business in the building. Federal buildings inside cities are different from some fenced off federal facility off in who knows where. I don't know of any successful argument that would allow someone, who isn't otherwise specifically authorized, to go for a stroll across something like AF Plant #6 with a gun. But, federal buildings in cities have frontages, courtyards, and the such that are essentially public space not unlike any other part of the city, and therefore have to consider the 2nd Amendment rights of the public crossing through, or in, these areas. This is what the DHS guy was doing in his questioning. |

18 U.S. Code § 930 - Possession of firearms and dangerous weapons in Federal facilities.
This is the problem, the Fed's definition of "In ... facilities". The feds are treating the entire grounds as the facility. The average Joe would interpret "in facility" to mean being inside the building. By literal definition he was On federal property, not In the facility. If the way in which the feds are interpreting the law were to be held throughout all federal property, then 67% of my state of Idaho is federal property and it would therefore be illegal to carry a firearm in a national forest or BLM land. Hell, the feds own 84% of Nevada. |

He might be a douche, but he was well within his rights with his actions. The officers were wrong. If he wants to intimidate witnesses or support intergalactic voting rights on WA property, that's probably a WA issue. If he chooses to do so on federal property, then that becomes an issue for the feds and federal law. While there are specific laws specifically forbidding firearms inside federal buildings, there are other aspects of the US Code regarding interfering with witnesses and so forth - the guy sounded like he was making reference to an ongoing case and that's problematic. It did not sound like he was reference to an ongoing case. The DHS scholar asks if he's making a 2dAm statement and he replies that they are actually there to support a group for the 10thAm. If it is legal to carry arms in that place (no one has cited any law that says it's not) and it's legal to protest there, it's legal to carry arms there while protesting. There would have to be witnesses present for someone to interfere with a witness. Note, please, that he was not arrested for witness intimidation or anything of the sort, but was arrested under a statute that does not criminalize his conduct. 18 U.S. Code § 930 (f) Nothing in this section limits the power of a court of the United States to punish for contempt or to promulgate rules or orders regulating, restricting, or prohibiting the possession of weapons within any building housing such court or any of its proceedings, or upon any grounds appurtenant to such building. The power to prohibit is not the power to criminalize. They were trying to prohibit. He talked himself into the criminality. |

One wonders how congress would work if mere citizens were allowed to watch them vote while open carrying in the gallery......
Me thinks the voting would get REAL interesting....
Perhaps all congressional reps should ask themselves the question just before voting? "Would my vote change if my constituency was sitting in the gallery armed?"

What are you going to do? Illegally detain them for a few hours? Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Let's poke the fire here a little. Let's say you are home, and look out on the sidewalk, and 4 Black Panthers are standing around marching up and down in front of your home with AR-15's and AK 47's, maybe even a billy club or two. Your wife and kids are on the way home from picking them up at school. You going to make them coffee? You going to call the cops? You going to confront them? After all, they ARE on public property exercising their constitutional rights! The problem with sense these days is it is not so COMMON! What are you going to do? Illegally detain them for a few hours?

Conspicuously troll a federal building with rifles hoping to get arrested, and you get arrested? Depending on the period of detention, they may have no civil recourse. This plus you don't have to Miranda someone as soon as you out the cuffs on. Open carry guy is an idiot. |

Of all of the rifles to carry, an AK? Seriously? He wanted to get detained. He carried a weapon he didn't mind losing. I doubt he would be trolling with a Noveske or LaRue. |

You should probably go back and read the full story at the OP before making another comment about Miranda. |
