Ok, so in light of Washington trying to ban guns in public parks lately (see also my post at: http://opencarry.mywowbb.com/forum55/31661-2.html) concerning Wenatchee's attempts to ban firearms from city parks and how it was in violation of RCW 9.41.290.
I'm concerned by some rules I saw listed on the website for parks in East Wenatchee, WA. This is their website: http://www.eastmontparks.com/
Under the section on Rules & Regulations Section #9 it states:
No person shall openly display a firearm or weapon in any park area, nor shall any person discharge or propel across, in, or into any park area, a firearm, bow and arrow, spear, spear gun, harpoon, sling shot, BB gun, air or gas weapon, or any device capable of injuring or killing any person or animal, or damaging or destroying any public or private property. No firearms or weapons are allowed in a Park without the written permission of the Director.
As far as I can tell this is a public park of the city so it would have to be held accountable to state laws, specifically RCW 9.41.290 which prohibits the city from banning guns on city property and at facilities.
Am I right? Is this a city park that has to follow these rules? I emailed them, but I won't have any information until they get back to me, but I will keep you all posted. If you have the chance, check out their page and tell me what you think.
