Can someone from Mont. Co. MD tell me if it is legal to protest a company from the sidewalk?

Question

I would like to protest a company in Chevy Chase Md with a placard.

Answer 1

I think your right to protest is an expression of your federal right to free speech. Local law is not involved.

One bit of advice: you are okay on a public sidewalk, however, do not do any of the following:

(1) Do not enter private land to protest.

(2) Do not impede the traffic of pedestrians on the sidewalk.

Answer 2

I suppose looking up local rules and regs. on that information highway box in front of you did't cross your mind.
