This is more of a concealed Carry Question (sorry) but I imagine it would apply to open carry as well.
In reviewing this site I've surmised that the City Parks sign that says no weapons and cites a muni ordnance (Federal Way Revised Code: chapter 4.05) is pretty much invalid. But with a city park and a school next to each other, is it legal to carry (concealed with CPL or open) in the park? What is the defining line between the park and the school?. I understand there is a Federal Law that might apply to this situation reading some of the other post?
In my case, I am using the track at the park, never during school hours, and I've yet to see any school related activities on the fields that are on park property while I have used the facility. Since the sign is on the track, its clear that it is part of the park, and not the school. Is there a department within the city I should call for clarification?
With concealed carry I doubt anyone would even know but I am carrying in a 5.11 shirt with shoulder holster/pouch built in, and when I am jogging obviously there is movement within the pouch/holster that might be visible... I have not had an issue and doubt I ever would, but would like to know where I stand in relationship to the law in this situation.
Thanks for the Input - J
btw... an irony... I concealed carried at the Texas State Fair weekend before last... just showed my Washington Permit to the police officer at the entry gates and bypassed the metal detectors.. but that same permit is not valid at the Washington State Fair... go figure...
