It's not illegal.
I can tell you I did more questionable things when I attended Purdue in West Lafayette in your backyard. I miss High Bridge. And a number of other places.

well. im not a student there. it is a 3 mile walk.. hmm..
Eh, it's after 2am here and it was 35 years ago. What was I thinking! Sorry for the stupid mistake. I am used to East Lansing and Michigan State University. Slip of the fingers.
I still kinda miss it though. Although not the long walks to the computer center in the dead of winter.
not too sure. i know a couple goons got caught on top of the stadium last week. i listen to the scanner on thursday nights. thats when they party now. the school rules or whatnot says no tests on friday.
No tests on Friday? I used to have classes on Saturday at 8:00 AM! WTF?! And I mean like Calculus and Fortran. No fair.
I've got to get down there again one day. And my kids thought they had it tough.

The jury still has to decide on the last charge. Should know something today.

According to Dan Edinger (brother of the Marine denied to vote) it has been decided and NOT GUILTY on all charges.
I don't have a direct source but he confirmed it.

Negative, ghostrider. County ordinance.
Stay off the block.

I don't believe that 35-47-11.1-4 carves out an exception for banning firearms from the same city block as a building which houses a courtroom.
I could be wrong. Lemme go check. ...

Nope. I was right. Carry your AR proudly and confidently that any police action against you for merely carrying will be met with a bevy of lawyers willing to take your case.

Jury finds teen not guilty in Birmingham gun carrying case | Observer and Eccentric Newspapers and Hometown Weeklies | hometownlife.com
Not guilty on the other 2 counts.

Yeah, sorry for not being on earlier. Not guilty on all counts as of 11:30 this morning!
Here's some info about the jury and trial. Juror #5 was probably the problem. When Jim (defense atty) asked her opinion on gun control, she stated in open court, "I don't see any reason for anyone to carry a gun."
I'm sure jury deliberation with her must have been a wonderful experience. I think there are plans to have another OC gathering to accompany him when he picks up his rifle from the police.
It's all over the news now.

The prosecuting attorney said that Sean was obstructing the police in their investigation by not wanting to provide an ID (which by MI law he is not legally obligated to do). The judge asked her, “I’m asking you how he’s guilty of the offense by exercising his right to say nothing?”

The Daily Tribune - Not guilty verdict for Troy teen who carried gun through Birmingham (with video)
Combs said he agreed to show identification, but only so officers could verify his age. “I said ‘I don’t technically have to do this but I want to go on with my night,’ ” he said. “I gave my ID to (one officer) and almost instantly (another officer) arrested me.”

Sean's attorney said, "I've said from the beginning this is not a gun rights case, this is a civil rights case. Birmingham Police violated his civil rights by arresting him that night."

“I think I irritated (police),” he said. “They kinda went ‘Let’s throw something at him and see what sticks.’”

"We upheld the law," said Rev. Julius DelPino, a jury member from Rochester Hills. "Based on how the law is written, (Combs) was not breaking the law."
"Open carry is not brandishing and brandishing is not open carry, there is a distinction," Makowski said, adding, "If I feel the need to openly carry a long gun, the courts have affirmed that I can do that."
Open carry advocates, many of whom learned about Combs' case on opencarry.org, have gathered as a group in Birmingham's Shain Park twice now — once in June and again last week — while openly carrying rifles and pistols in support of Combs.

So.
How DOES one walk with their rifle in an "Ostentatious Manner"?
Was he walking around backwards so people would see the rifle first?
Did the officers demo this? I would like to see what its like.

FYI, Tippecanoe County Courthouse is its own block.
Risking an expansive reading of the curtilage of courthouse and contempt finding.
