Basically I am planning to go to the January 6th DC Rally. Need input and advice. I was on the Discord that got nuked, so I don't have anywhere to turn.

• Phone: I've heard I should use a burner phone if possible. What does that mean? I have some spare phones but don't have a spare phone plan. Is there a place to buy a short term phone plan?

I have read about not connecting to public WiFi. If I'm using a short-term burner plan, then that means I would use up data, right? (In theory I'd only be doing this for the single day of January 6 and would use my regular phone at other times.)

I already have a VPN account I use for my phone, but still need some help planning.

• Gun / Conceal Carry: I want to bring my everyday conceal carry with me. I have a Conceal Carry Permit. I know I can bring an unloaded gun in checked-luggage on an airplane if I declare and package it properly. What about ammunition?

Also, are there any insane technicalities to Washington DC gun-laws I need to know? I don't want to get arrested on some stupid inanity.

• Body Armor: I'm bring my own body armor. I can't imagine this would be a problem, but checking if anyone knows otherwise? It's just a modern bullet-proof vest and plates.

• COVID-19: I have heard that I need to have proof of a negative result on a COVID-19 test to enter Washington DC? Is this true? How should I do get this?

• Beware Covert Operatives: I have been warned about overly friendly people, trying to flirt and stuff. Could be undercover cops trying to get me. Any advice for what to watch for?

ANYTHING ELSE or other advice to give a soon to be traveler, frens?
