Man will bring gun to Southwest Community Center tomorrow in protest
Submitted by Rose Egge on Friday, November 13th, 09:14am
A Kent man, Bob Warden,has written to the Seattle Parks Department, informing them that he plans to "exercise his right to bear arms" by carrying a holstered Glock pistol to the Southwest Community Center tomorrow at noon.
His actions are in protest to the City of Seattle's recent decision to ban firearms from certain community centers and parks where children are typically present.
Warden says he has a current valid State of Washington License to Carry a Concealed Weapon.
He also writes that he is anattorney, licensed to practice in Washington, and that when he took his Oath of Attorney he promised to support the constitution.
"Put bluntly, Seattle Parks and Recreation Rule P 060 – 8.14 was promulgated in knowing andblatant violation of state and federal law,"Warden wrote.
While Warden's plan may sound radical he says that he is not looking for"any kind of uncivil confrontation" and that hewill comply with any instruction given to himby law enforcement personnel or any City of Seattle official.
Seattle Parks has not yet responded to our request for comment.

more power to him. i'm curious to see what the response from the city will be. if i had tomorrow off, i'd drive up and meet him. i know we're waiting to see what happens with the SAF's complaint/suit but i'm getting somewhat itchy to take action. it's hard to sit around and do nothing.
