"The man accused of opening fire at Seattle's Northwest Folklife Festival, wounding three people, had obtained a concealed-weapon permit from the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office even though federal and state laws should have prevented him from having one."

"He had the right to carry firearm under state, federal laws."
I called Nancy at the Times, identified myself, and pointed out her error in fact.
As it turns out, she was relying on her reading of the application for a license, rather than the law.
I'm a pretty serious gun law nut, one of two in my department. It annoys me to no end when people suck up this stuff off the news and believe it.
Her number is at the bottom of the Times article.
It seriously annoys me to see the PI getting it right and the Times screwing it up. :banghead:
