250 rnds hydra shock to the lawyer that fights this (or at least writes a letter to WWU)

250 rnds if it hits trial

250 more if it succeeds

No, state schools are run by the state, but they aren't the state government. I think the DOT example in this thread is a good example. The DOT can't create gun laws, even though they are the state, because the laws are preemted on the state level.

and even if some judge saw that as not the case, the state can't (I believe) hand out the ability to make rules that it has said would be against state law otherwise. (If that makes sense... does in my head, but i suck at articulating stuff)

can't say "you can't do this", only to later say "well, you there... you can do this"

CWU is a public institution of higher education established under Title 28B RCW. Title 28B.07.030 establishes The Washington higher education facilities authority as a State agency and public body within the meaning of RCW 39.53.010. “(7) "Public body" means the state of Washington, its agencies, institutions, political subdivisions, and municipal and quasi-municipal corporations now or hereafter existing under the laws of the state of Washington.”



As a state agency, and under Title 34.05 RCW, CWU has the authority to make rules and regulations (WACs) that govern the school. This authority is delegated to them by the State Legislature. The legislature has given the Board of CWU limited legislative powers. When the Board is promulgating WACs, they are acting as the State Legislature.

Which is why we need to make sure that SB 6860 is reintroduced. This reminds me of that You Tube video of some anti talking about a BS piece of legislation that they finally got passed - after 13 years.
