I think the real question is do you want to see the show or not....because all things aside, if someone sees it or you open carry I would be willing to bet right or wrong you will be escorted off the premises or to some small room until the local constabulary figures out their interpretation of the law. I feel you should be able to carry concealed because the RCW covers that.....open carry is still kind of new to alot of folks and I think you will forfeit the evening to make your point...which is worth more to you right now? Maybe a letter to the city attorney outlining the RCW and asking how they can restrict your rights with a CC to the state Attorney General would be effective.

The big question here though would still be who is creating the rule? If every ticket to every event has that wording printed on it I find it unlikely that each individual lessee who puts on an event independently comes up with the idea. It is much more likely that the city, as the manager of the facility, has a ticket already laid out which contains all the needed info and all the lessee does is provide the specific information for their event. If this is the case, then the city is still creating a situation where we are illegally being restricted in violation of state law.

The rule has already been created. It was created by the operators of the Tacoma Dome which happens to be the City of Tacoma. I would imagine the the company leasing the dome would be bound by contract to agree to the rules and policies already in place.

Joeroket,

But the City is simply has no authority to do that!
And that was the point I have been making all along. I was addressing the question of whether or not it was the company leasing the dome making the rules.
