I've read a lot of legal opinions that say the intent of the law is to make it illegal to wear a disguise while committing an armed crime. Theoretically the govt can't deny you your 2A rights just because they illegally mandated the wearing of face diapers. It would be an interesting case if someone were arrested for being masked while armed, and I'm not sure anyone would want to open that can of worms - especially because police are masked as well and some of the laws probably don't distinguish police vs civilians.

I carry everywhere, and am 99% mask-free, but I have worn a mask while carrying when I absolutely had to wear the mask. I would just look up the law in your state and see for yourself if it is well written and indisputable, or if it is overly broad and has wiggle room (or even mentions intent). I think many places have amended their similar laws to add extra charges if you are carrying while masked and committing a crime (hence the "intent"). Gun restrictions suck.
