I just recieved this memo from Mike Harbour at IT. This has gone out to all operators and supervisors...
December 4,2007 MEMO #07-58 To: All Operators & Supervisors From: Jim Merrill Subject: Firearms on Buses In response to a customer’s inquiry, the General Manager asked our attorney to research the extent Intercity Transit may control or ban the carrying of firearms by customers on its buses.I have summarized his finding below as to what is prohibited and what is allowed.
It is prohibited to:
I also asked Mr. Harbour to post some sort of signage regarding lawful carry of arms, and suggested that RCW 9.91.025 would be good, or simply "No illegally carried weapons" he said that they will look into signage, but will not commit at this time. Fair enough.
This to me looks like a well written memo. I'm going to chat with a few operators, IT is my only way back and forth to work, so I have to make sure I'm not going to get kicked off for a period of time trying to resolve problems, but with the memo seems pretty good to me.
I expressed my thanks to Mr. Harbour. I suspect the work of the OPD has played some small role in this as well, what with the training directive and all.
I guess I should thank the nameless person who called the cops on me that day in the park for setting all this wonderful OC protective stuff in motion:celebrate

It is prohibited to:
- Carry a firearm on a bus in a way that warrants alarm. This requires something more than mere open possession on a bus, such as menacing or unstable looks, utterances or other alarming behavior. (I would consider the un-holstering of a weapon alarming behavior)
- Posses or carry firearms on school premises.
- Carry a concealed pistol on a bus, with a valid concealed pistol permit.
- Transport cased rifles, shotguns, pistols and ammunition
- Ride with a holstered pistol in a manner that does not warrant alarm.
