I was answering the question about whether any were armed or not, of which, the answer is yes: some absolutely were.

Getting a permit to carry in DC is extremely difficult to the point where there's no chance any of the protestors had one. That makes possession illegal. Also, a lack of proper licensing is mentioned several times in the article.

Hmm, that’s a good point - I’d forgotten that I used to have to leave my firearms in safe territory back in Arlington VA before visiting DC proper
