Not to put too fine a point on it, but four people were armed...

ALBERTS, Christopher Michael. Unlawful Possession of a Firearm on Capitol Grounds or Buildings; Unlawful Entry or Remaining on Restricted Grounds without Lawful Authoirty; Carrying a Pistol without a License Outside Home or Place of Business; Possession of a Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device
COFFMAN, Lonnie Leroy . Possession of an unregistered firearm (destructive device) and carrying a pistol without a license.
MEREDITH Jr., Cleveland Grover. Interstate Communication of Threats; Possession of Unregistered Firearms; Possession of Unregistered Ammunition; Possession of Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Devices
REFFITT, Guy Wesley. Obstruction of an Official Proceeding and Aiding and Abetting; Entering and Remaining in a Restricted Building or Grounds; Obstruction of Justice - Hindering Communication Through Physical Force or Threat of Physical Force. Superseding indictment issued 6/16 to add firearms charge.

Of the 511 people charged, 49 have a charge carrying weapons: Alam, Ashlock, Barnett, Black, Blair, Brockhoff, Caldwell, Chrestman, Coffee, Colon, Cua, Fairlamb, Foy, Gieswein, Gossjankowski, Harkrider, Jackson, Jenkins, Khater, Klein, Konold (Cory), Konold (Felicia), Kramer, Kuehne, Lang, Languerand, McHugh, McKellop, Mellis, Miller, Mink, Munafo, Nichols, Padilla, Palmer, Ponder, Powell, Rodriguez, Sabol, Sanford, Schwartz, Shalvey, Sills, Stager, Tanios, Watson, Webster, Whitton, and Worrell).

I spot-checked some of the affidavits and statements of facts; they carried tasers, bear spray, baseball bats, batons, crowbars, riot shields, respirators, axe handles, wooden clubs, etc.

Reading through the documents, you easily get a sense of who was innocently there and just carried away by events versus those who were there with serious pre-planning, intent to harm and were probably agents provocateur.
