I was thumbing through the newest edition of WAC's gun news magazine, and something caught my eye, so on page 4 Joe Waldron is writing about SWATTING and OC, and he wrote this
"Next stop police lobbying to ban open carry. This is exactly how Washington lost open carry from 1994 to 1997: Seattle PD citing a single incident of legitimate open carry, by a very vocal complaining citizen, to convince the legislature to ban that which had been legal since (and probably before) statehood. It took gun lobbyists and a republican majority in both chambers of the legislature, three years to reverse that ill-advised law"
I am not aware of this type of law being passed, does anyone have more details on this?
