Had to take the bus to Shelton today :? and while reading their schedule noted they specifically prohibited legal arms and ammo on the bus despite the protections of RCW 9.91.025. Having nothing else to do tonight, I sent off an email to them. Should be amusing.
Hi,
On occasion I take MT to Shelton from Olympia. Your latest schedule incorrectly states that a person may not carry legal firearms or ammo on the bus. As I am sure you are very much aware this contradicts RCW 9.91.025 which states in part " (e) Carries any flammable liquid, explosive, acid, or other article or material likely to cause harm to others except that nothing herein prevents a person from carrying a cigarette, cigar, or pipe lighter or carrying a firearm or ammunition in a way that is not otherwise prohibited by law;" (my emphasis)
Other larger transit agencies such as Sound Transit, Pierce Transit, Community Transit and King County Metro have all reversed their unlawful no weapons policy. I trust that this is merely an oversight on the part of MT and will be swiftly corrected.
As I am sure you also know, the state constitution very carefully protects the right of the individual to bear arms for personal protection. Please cite any state laws that allow you to deny a person with a valid concealed weapons permit from boarding an MT bus with his/her firearm.
Thank you for your time.
