Only if the protest is classified as a “riot”. However, if there’s no violence, I could see a defense of using a weapon to stop assault with a deadly weapon (car), a forcible felony.

In ‘76, I had a Vega Wagon, but with steel panels where the rear side windows are. I had Texas Truck plates as that is how the state categorized it. There was also no back seat but a storage compartment there. I got pulled ALL. THE. TIME.

Tell your inspector you want a “Four Point” inspection. A/C, electrical, plumbing, and roof. Emphasize you’re selling.
