Historical Background
The Seattle Open Carry March took place on May 20, 2018, at McGraw Square in downtown Seattle. Dozens of demonstrators attended, many of whom came with firearms to open carry as they marched. The rally was hosted by Patriot Prayer. According to the event’s Facebook page, “The intent isn’t to antagonize, but to exercise a right that is under attack.” Joey Gibson, who is running for the United States Senate and is the founder of Patriot Prayer, attended and spoke at the rally. The rally also provided attendees an opportunity to support Washington I-1621, which allows concealed carry on public and private school grounds. From McGraw Square, Gibson led demonstrators on a short march through downtown toward the Federal Courthouse at 5th Avenue and Spring Street. Seattle police created a bicycle barrier to separate the marchers from counter-protesters.

Description: Counter-protestors from the Puget Sound John Brown Gun Club at the rally in McGraw Square, Seattle, WashingtonGerhard, John (photographer)
The Puget Sound John Brown Gun Club defines itself as “Working class folks fighting white supremacy & building liberatory community defense in the PNW” (https://www.facebook.com/pg/PugetSoundJBGC/about/?ref=page_internal). They attended the Open Carry March as counter-protestors. While they also support open carrying, they state an aversion to the bigotry, hate, and racism they perceive being encouraged by Patriot Prayer.
