On Saturday, I filmed about 50-60 men march armed around the Capitol in Richmond. They believed they were defying an ordinance banning guns at protests.
I reached out to @RichmondPolice, who says it was a "gathering" that didn't meet the threshold of an event requiring permit.

This is my thread from the day of the event.
“It’s meant to be a meaningful day, where the cops stand down and listen to us, and they don’t enforce the unconstitutional orders," said @realmikedunn at the time.
“And the city council gets pissed off."

This is the second time @realmikedunn has held what he says was a protest defying local gun laws and got away with it, where the police have then stated the ordinance didn't apply.

I reached @realmikedunn for comment on the Richmond Police’s new statement saying that his group did not violate the statute by marching armed.
His full comment for the record reads as follows:
“Liberty Shall Not Be Infringed “
