Here you go friends. Take a look. Basically the guy wants to carry as a form of political protest over some Silicon Valley CEO

Take a look at his lawyers. This is a really legit firm. That is the lead lawyer. Whoever Zeleny is I respect his commitment because lawyers like this don't come cheap. http://www.agzlaw.com/david-w-affeld

That’s some weird behaving dude.

This is very old. The plaintiff has been doing this kind of stuff for many years, perhaps 10 or so. He was also arrested about 5 or 10 years ago on Sand Hill Road (home of the vulture capitalists) when he was doing something similar, protesting with a gun. He is well known in Southern California gun collector circles for his magnificent collection of pistols, unbelievable intellect, and excellent taste in guns.

5 days since filing [4-9-19] isn't all that old.

He helped a girl get money from her Dad because he sexually abused her according to the complaint. He exposed both the Dad and his company for covering it up and now is protesting so that the public know about the pedophilia. He now is suing for his right to protest with a gun. The case has been around for 2 years but what i linked to is a new complaint that was filed recently. Filing a new complaint sort of restarts a case.

If I read this right he is basically suing to be able to carry while at protests?

I wondered when someone would fight back against this stupid law.

It's pretty amusing... he's calling his protests "entertainment events and media productions" and using the "Hollywood exemption" as a defense of his right to carry at said "events."

California Man Denied Permit to Protest
With Rifle Sues City of Menlo Park
The Truth About Guns. 4/14/2018

https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2018/04/dean-weingarten/california-man-denied-permit-to-protest-with-rifle-sues-city-of-menlo-park/

"Michael Zeleny, a free-speech and Second Amendment activist has
sued the City of Menlo Park, California, and a number of city and state
officials for denial of his civil rights under the First, Second and
Fourteenth Amendments. The reason: he was denied a permit to
protest while carrying an unloaded AK-47 rifle."

Mr Zeleny also made some remarks in the comment section of the
article (at least someone claiming to be him), including a Link to
some, uh, weird / sex animations regarding his ongoing dispute
against Min Zhu, Cisco WebEx founder, with commentary about his
2014 People v. Michael Zeleny

One of his comments:

I'm no legal expert, but it seems rather obvious that prohibiting unloaded open carry is a violation of the 1st Amendment.

Only if you do it while stripping.

Historically, the Colonists did this a lot by assembling with guns (sometimes loaded). Totally has some historical merit.

Answer to Second Amended complaint filed. This guy must be spending a small fortune to take on the state. I respect his commitment.

Reading up to the first 25 paragraphs all I heard over and over is Sergeant Schultz reapeating "I know nothing!".

That is the first 25 pages of "I know nothing!". The AG of CA is devoid of any knowledge and plainly says so.
