I think it is really great that city attorney types have the authority to place state law in limbo until they see what a different city does regarding unlawful activity.

Well, I got a reply back. It looks like a wait and see thing. I got a letter from Russell D Hauge, Prosecuting Attorney, Kitsap County Prosecuting Attorney's Office. In it he says that the County Council has several revisions of the Parks' Code that are under review but that he agrees with me that the current prohibition of firearms is a violation of state law and unenforceable. When I have more time, perhaps I'll transcribe it here for all to see.

Yea, just makes you all warm and fuzzy inside that they want to save on the price of a few signs, just in case they might have to put them back up again in a year or so. :quirky

I am a resident of Kenmore (sandwiched between them) otherwise I would raise hell a bit more, but as it is, they don't HAVE to listen to me because I am not "their citizen". That's pretty much the attitude I have received from both city attorneys.

At least they fully admit their legal bounds of enforcement on the issue don't exist. Its only one consolation, but its a biggie.
