This is actually a positive move by the council and was a little confusing as to what they were addressing.
They are saying they want to come into compliance with State Law, this is a good move on their behalf, just hopefully it can be passed.
They acknowledged the Superior Court Ruling that ruled it was illegal for Seattle to ban guns in the park and then came in the confusion of the Federal Lawsuit brought around the same time SAF and others brought up to which we won.
The Federal Lawsuit was in direct relationship to the Second Amendment in which this the speaker was not aware of the Washington State Supreme Court Ruling that the 2nd Amendment is incorporated to our State.
They were talking about not liking the law or wanting to change it was to be placed in their Legislature pursuits for next year in the State Level, this is not for a new county ordinance.
It appears this will be heard in more detail on the 31st and we need those who are well informed show up and sign up to speak on the issue of law.
There is one that who spoke about not wanting people to carry shotguns in our parks, well there are other countries he can live that prohibit such actions. Thankfully ours does not, personally I would not as I do not feel it would be appropriate and may well fall into the "at a time and place that either manifests an intent to intimidate another or that warrants alarm for the safety of other persons"
However there was a case of this type last year in Idaho where 2 teen brothers carried their riles to the park and around town for protection, there was a bit of an up roar but it was legal to do so.

This also gives an opportunity to yet again demonstrate now those legally armed are respectful and confident citizens as demonstrated at Starbucks (as I saw it was a great display of what legally armed citizens truly are knowledgeable and respectful).
corrected Supreme to Superior Court.
