There are riots in Charlotte, North Carolina, sparked by the shooting of an armed black man by a black police officer.
A motorist caught by rioters blocking the street, briefly displayed what appears to be a handgun.
A video of the alarming moment was posted on social media by writer Heather Head in the midst of the chaos.
‘White dude drives into crowd of peaceful protesters, draws gun, allowed to drive away alive. With my own eyes. #CharlotteProtest,’ she wrote alongside the shocking clip.
The man was surrounded by protesters who were marching against the deadly shooting of black man Keith Lamont Scott by a cop on Tuesday afternoon.”
It is legal to openly carry a firearm in North Carolina, but not in a riot or organized protest, if the carry is intended to further the civil disorder.
From the UK Daily Mail:
The law states: ‘You may not carry a weapon at a parade, funeral procession, picket line, or other demonstration, except for guns carried on a rack in a pickup truck.
‘You may not carry a weapon during civil disorder, riot, or other disturbance involving three or more people.’
The Daily Mail is using a shorthand version of the law, found on the Internet. Their source appears to be criminaldefenselawyer.com. The full statute shows that more is required to make the carry illegal. The law referenced is statute 14-288.20.

Wait for the looted goods, to run out!
That’s no gun, it’s a book!
Kitty, kitty,Kitty!
The Daily Mail is a liberal rag. Also Piers Morgan is a contributor so if you want to read America bashing read his nonsense. Otherwise it’s good entertainment; that is if you’re into following the Kardashians and Kanye.
Yep. Someone else those, the more helpless the better, might not have been so lucky.
Thanks for clearing that up for me.
“Sticking your firearm out of the car window creates the opportunity to separate you from it. Bad idea.”
Yeah, I have a problem with this. You can’t drive anywhere with a pistol hanging out of the car. That’s just retarded.
I’ve seen a lot of Freepers calling guys who go to coffee shops with a rifle “Stupid, even if it’s legal” but this takes the cake.
If I were a cop, I would have some words with him.
One account had four persons total in the vehicle, not just a driver.
I saw this article yesterday, but haven’t seen it posted here yet. I’d rather not try to post a thread about it myself, because I suck at that. I really think this needs its own thread though. I hope you or another freeper will post it.
This has the full, unedited dash cam video, and a full, unedited body cam video, of the shooting and death of Keith Scott. These videos show more than was previously shown.
If anyone does post a thread on it, please ping me.
