This letter to Island County Transit is mostly for you folks in Island County. This is something I stumbled onto while looking up a schedule for a friend. Read the letter and give me feed back before I send it off. I am the guy from Hawaii, however my permanent home of record is Oak Harbor, WA.
Dear Sirs:
On your bus schedule, you quote, under:
DID YOU KNOW.
It's the law RCW 9.91.025:
It is against the law while on the bus or designated stop to:
*Disturb others with loud/unruly behavior
*Carry flammable liquids, weapons, explosive's or harmful materials
* Spit or litter
According to your website, undwer "frequently asked questions";
Unlawful Bus Conduct Law, Washington State Law RCW 9.91.025. You leave out the word "weapons". In both these instances you misquote RCW 9.91.025. Under RCW 9.91.025, Unlawful Bus Conduct, I quote Article (1), Section (e) "Carrying any flammable liquids, acid, or other material likely to cause harm to others "except that nothing here in prevents a person rom carrying a cigarette, cigar, or pipe lighter or carrying a firearm or ammuntion in a way that is not otherwise prohibited by law".
If you go into RCW 9.41.290 State Preemption, you will see thatWashington State preempts all codes concerning firearms in all charter or home rule status of such city, town, county or municipality. Also in RCW 9.41.290, RCW 9.41.300 is referenced. RCW 9.41.300 - Weapons Prohibited in Certain Places - Local Laws and Ordinances- Exceptions - Penalty. Nowhere in this law is public transporation mentioned, meaning , if it is not stated in the law then it is legal to do so (carrying of a firearm and ammunition on public ransportation).:celebrate

Sorry guys but the typing and spelling is laid out exactly like the bus schedule shows it. Maybe I should have said something about that. I wanted the jist of the letter to look exactly like their schedule. You can read it a lot of ways just as a couple of other guys did. I think you see my point/s though. The only hing I did not do was to use the same colors as they did.
