I guess I have to cut a little slack. We, as a group, have a higher focused level of knowledge. I don't understand plat reviews (I've bored myself to death watching various city council meetings). The council members are uniformly clueless on this issue and the city attorney should have educated them. Although off camera during the committee meeting, there seemed to be a lady with a bit of a clue; probably Ryan.if you want to be really disgusted watch the council videos
city council meeting video (begins at 12:00)
committee meeting video (also begins at 12:00)
What surprised me was the city attorney. He did little to inform the council of certain facts.
- Washington has no RCW with the term 'brandishing.'
- He consistently used the term 'causes' alarm, instead of what .270 states; specifically the term 'warrants alarm.' They would have really benefited from a brief lesson on what .270 means. Good God, squirrel hunting in a city park with a shotgun....
- At no point did he inform them that OC is legal in Washington. They all seemed to focus on the 'as long as they have it concealed' or 'as long as they have a CPL.'
- Not knowing that they could not prohibit carry in the council chambers (assuming they don't meet in the municipal court -or- the court is in the same building and the entire building is sterile).
