Here's the situation:
My friend works for a local pubic wastewater district here. Basically like any PUD, except they deal strictly with sewer. They have their own stand-alone office building. He says they have a "No Weapons" policy, so he can't carry. I asked him about at leastkeeping his handgun in the car, andhe said theruleapplies to the parking lot as well. They made him sign a form stating that they have theright to search hisvehicle at any time, or something of the sort. None of this is verified, just what he told me.
My question is, can RCW 9.41.290 apply here at all? Obviously, if he worked in a private firm, they could prohibit. But since technically its a publically owned agency,it shouldn't be considered private property, right? I can't find anything in 9.41.300 that really addresses this, anybodyhave some thoughts?
