I know this toppic has been up before but I can't find the law and where it is here on OCDO. what is the RCW for firearms in a park I have been OC'ing in the parks of Yakima and the signs state no firearms allowed, and people ask me for where it states that I can carry, a little help!
erich I just finished dealing with all the firearms issues in the City of Yakima, along with that the Parks Department was to have all the signs replaced that have the no guns signs.
The ordinances have been changed and do not prohibit the carry of firearms in the parks in the city of Yakima.
Here is the new ordinance for the City of Yakima
13.16.120 Firearms prohibited—Throwing prohibited. No person shall throw stones or other
missiles in any park or playground, or into the waters of any pool, wading pool or swimming pool. (Ord. 2009-19 §1, 2009: Ord. B-1381, rule 12, 1952).
Note the title they have not changed but you will not find firearm in the ordinance.
erich if you are going to a Yakima County Park or Union Gap they still have some restrictions as in Yakima County Parks their ordinance restricts one from having a round in the chamber in county parks.
The County or City Ordinance still does not supersede State Law.
I recently started addressing the issues of Yakima County with one of the County Commissioners on issues that violate State Preemption and WA State Constitution.
erich if you give the name of the park I would be happy to look into it.
