There are currently two (2) lawsuits in progress regarding the Seattle parks gun ban.
It might be prudent to consider the potential impact on those legal actions, no matter how remote that possibility seems.
As Trigger Dr. and Deros have sagely pointed out, one must carefully select the venue for public expression. This includes a willingness to NOT do something even though the urge just seems overwhelming. There is currently far too much at stake.
One can claim to speak or act only for himself, but in the public eye, you end up representing a lot of people and the image one creates can be lasting and easily turned against not just you, but everyone in a particular movement.
