New user to this group and have a question / view point on the ban on tasers in bellingham city limits.
Could a lawyer argue that RCW 9.41.290 is in effect since:
RCW 9.41.010
(1) "Firearm" means a weapon or device from which a projectile or projectiles may be fired by an explosive such as gunpowder.
(2) "Pistol" means any firearm with a barrel less than sixteen inches in length, or is designed to be held and fired by the use of a single hand.
States that because tasers fire a projectile (such as compressed air in an explosive decompression) from a barrel less than sixteen inches in length, or is designed to be held and fired by the use of a single hand.
Also can anyone find me a law that states that I can not carry a stun gun in a bar because I can not find a law or a definition in the RCW that states that it is a firearm or a dangerous weapon and thus subject to the ban.
I have tried to do my homework on this and well it seams the state AG, firearms div. of the State Patrol, and the auditors office all say its not thier job.
