Man protests with AK-47 outside KC federal courthouse [View all]

KANSAS CITY, Mo. —A man with an unloaded AK-47 rifle marched back and forth in front of the Kansas City federal courthouse for about 30 minutes Friday morning.

Stan Nyhart, who resides in Hickory County, said he is upset with President Barack Obama's proposal to ban military-style assault rifles like his.

KMBC's Micheal Mahoney reported that Nyhart was watched closely by police during his protest march at the foot of the courthouse steps.

The police said Nyhart informed them in advance of his protest. Police said his weapon was checked. It was not loaded, and his protest was legal. He drew several stares from people who walked by him.
