WASHINGTON - Adam Kokesh, a controversial activist seen loading a gun in D.C.'s Freedom Plaza in a video posted to YouTube July 4, has been transferred from Fairfax County and charged in D.C. with openly carrying a shotgun in violation of D.C. laws.

He is specifically being charged with violating the following offense:

Carrying a Rifle or Shotgun (outside Home or Place of Business), in violation of 22 D.C. Code Section 4504 (a-1) (2001 ed.))

The maximum penalty for those who have not previously been convicted of a felony is a fine of $5,000 and/or up to five years in prison.

Those who have been convicted of a felony could face a fine of up to $10,000 and/or up to 10 years in prison.

Kokesh had been arrested and charged with drug offenses in Fairfax County earlier in July.

An arrest warrant obtained by WTOP notes that U.S. Park officials executed a search warrant at Kokesh's Herndon home on July 9, where they seized several weapons, including a 12-gauge shotgun believed to be the same one used in the YouTube video.

In addition, the warrants note the officials seized ammunition and marijuana, mushrooms and "other suspected narcotics."

Read the arrest warrant below.

An Iraq war veteran known for his controversial activism, Kokesh is seen in the video standing in an empty Freedom Plaza loading a shotgun.

Kokesh was allowed to post bail and leave jail ahead of his trial for felony drug charges in Fairfax County. Bond was set at $5,000.

ABC 7 reported that as part of his pre-trial release, Kokesh would be prohibited from possessing firearms.

Kokesh had planned and then canceled an armed march on Washington scheduled for July 4, 2013. Participants in the non-violent event, called the Open Carry March on Washington, were supposed to be armed with rifles.

The purpose of the march was to "put the government on notice that we will not be intimidated and cower in submission to tyranny," Kokesh said of the event on his website.

While due to family history and heritage I've been skeptical of him, he is a compelling figure. I wish him well. This could end up back in the Supreme Court or with him in prison for a long time.

I guess there are always exceptions to the rule ... I hope he's one.
