You will not be able to "check" police in an armed protest.
If you point a gun at police that are beating a protestor, the following things will happen.
- you will be killed
- reports of your actions will be used as an example of why a more militarized presences is required
- the regime will be vindicated
I also recommend this book.
When you use armed resistance to fight a fascist government with a military. You are attacking your enemies greatest strength. Wouldn't it be better to attack their weaknesses?

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a statement Thursday that Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans who were previously temporarily shielded from deportation will be emailed notices telling them to go.
An open carry protestor is not the same thing as one pointing a gun at police. If there is a situation where you felt compelled to use that gun, or to at least use it as a warning against brutality, do you really think police won't shoot you on the spot?
Even in non violent protests, people with gas masks or supplies of any kind become a higher value person of interest and more likely to face arrest and brutality.
If you really want to bring a gun to a protest, then I suggest to keep it concealed until you think something worth your life will happen if you don't use it.
