I was making a quick jaunt over to Safeway to pick up something to eat for breakfast, and on my way back to work I heard an interview on the radio (101.1 KOHO out of Leavenworth, WA) talking about a recent Leavenworth city council meeting. Apparently the city of Leavenworth had recently received a letter regarding an ordinance that they had that prohibited firearms in some locations. They had then recently voted to repeal the ordinance, but are planning to draft a letter to the state legislature asking for the authority to regulate firearms possession at city council meetings, libraries, and parks. The woman being interviewed commented about how many cities have recently gotten similar letters and believed that they would be able to garner support from those other cities as well.
Hopefully nothing comes of it, but thought I'd share the information.
Update: Looks like the issue came up at last night's (Tuesday, 11/27) council meeting as can be seen on the agenda here: http://www.cityofleavenworth.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/11-27-12.pdf
Minutes from the meeting will not be available until Dec 12 apparently.
Update #2: Looks like LMC 2.60.010 is what they voted to repeal (with 3 dissenting votes apparently). Of course it's already repealed due to preemption.
