Is anyone CERTAIN that this bulletin has been sent? The copy I downloaded is unsigned by preparer, Legal Review, etc.
I ran into a KCSO Sergeant (who would not ID himself, merely stated he worked in the Courthouse) who claimed he had not seen this bulletin. He further stated "if a gun is not concealed, it is illegal".
This encounter again took place at Sam's Gun Shop in the Range portion. When I mentioned the bulletin he stood fast on his opinion that open carry is illegal. When I pointed out RCW 9.41.270 language he said that it was "all handled at local level and as long as it was more restrictive than State Law it took precedent". When I advised him that there was total state preemption on firearm law he shrugged.
After I asked for his name and where he was "stationed" he asked if I was a LEO or Lawyer. When I advised him I was not, just well read on State Law, his reply was "You Know TOO much about the Law". Very interesting position.
Anyway, I again ask, does anyone know for sure that the "bulletin" (Title say T5 Request Form) has actually been circulated. If it has, apparently it hasn't made it to the Courthouse.
