Hello all! I'm new to the forums, but have spend the last few weeks reading up and learning all about Open Carry and I'm totally on board. (I just need to buy a pistol now.)
I decided to look into my local city laws on this issue to see what they've done in regards to firearms. I found the following law in relation to our local parks:
10.03.100 Firearms and Explosives.
No person shall shoot, fire, or explode any fireworks, firecrackers, torpedoes, or explosives of any kind or throw any projectiles, or carry any firearm, or shoot or fire any firearm, air gun, bow and arrow, BB gun, or use any slingshot on any park properties except a law enforcement officer in the line of duty. The Director may issue a permit for the purpose of conducting a public fireworks display under RCW 70.77.260. The permit must meet the requirements of Section 9.64.030, Public Display of Fireworks. (Ord. 821, Sec. 2, 2009)
You can view the whole laws here: http://www.lakestevenswa.gov/DocumentCenter/Home/View/635
As I read it, they are in violation of state law. They seem to even be violated concealed carry laws in addition to the open carry laws. Am I wrong in my interpretation? If so, who should I contact to get this changed?
Thanks!
