The jail is suppose to be the only restricted area, so they would be violating the law, which isn't surprising, most cop houses do it.carhark wrote:When I went to apply for mine, I went to the King County Sheriff's Office Precinct in Maple Valley. They had a sign posted at the enterence to the "restricted" part of the precinct that says no firearms beyond this point. And you have to go beyond that point to get finger printed. So, I would've been unable to OC even if I had wanted to. Took me just over 30 days to get mine. I figured it would happen. It was right around Christmas/New Years, plus I live in Arizona.I'm not exactly sure of the law, but make sure it is legal to carry in the station. I know you can't in jails, but i don't recall if that carries over to the station itself. Great idea though!
Not only that, they're required by RCW 9.41.300 to provide a lockbox and key or designated representative to keep your firearm safe while you're in the restricted area. They are also liable for any loss or damage while it's in their care. I suggest bringing a camera and taking a picture of both sides, top and bottom of the gun/holster at the station in case they do damage it and claim it was like that when they received it.ATCer wrote:The jail is suppose to be the only restricted area, so they would be violating the law, which isn't surprising, most cop houses do it.carhark wrote:When I went to apply for mine, I went to the King County Sheriff's Office Precinct in Maple Valley.

That would be interesting to try.See, in Spokane when you go to apply you have to go into the courthouse to records to apply for it. When you go into the restriced area you have to use the lock box. No problem I suppose. When I went in last time I was CC'ing and I told them I needed to use the lockbox. The guy said they needed my CPL and he would give me a key for the box, and I could get my CPL after I returned the key.
Kind of strange huh? I would think they would want a drivers license instead. i wonder what they would say if I walked up OC'ing and when they asked for my CPL, I looked at them and said, "what cpl?" I open carry.
They use your driver's license in Whatcom County. It is so they get the key back. I wonder about the legality of concealing your weapon without a CPL on your person as you walk from the desk to the lockbox. Sorry officer, I don't have my CPL on me as I just handed it to that guy over there. Officer:"Assume the position".See, in Spokane when you go to apply you have to go into the courthouse to records to apply for it. When you go into the restriced area you have to use the lock box.

It seems I have done OPD a small disservice. I had a ride along today for a couple of hours with OPD (more on that in a couple of days) and met Sgt. Wojtech as part of the process.Hahah! I love it! Aren't they mailing the permit to you? If you have to pick it up in person I would OC.
The funny thing is state laws says "issue WITHIN 30 days" yet some places like Seattle and Oly take that as waiting the full 30 days to issue... morons.
I'm at Boeing Field tonight, get off at 0600. It's about a 5-minute drive to the South Precinct. Just happen to have the new little camera with me . If there's a sign, I'll stop in and ask. The lobby should be no issue, but I'll see what's up when I get there.Also, is anyone interested in finding out if Seattle police station has the no firearms sign? and if so how do they deal with the 'storage' of the firearms? I'm all for helping to educate the LEO's if there turns out to be an actual issue.
