Pierce County Courthouse’s new security plan delayed
Pierce: Restricted-items ban may buck state law
Pierce County has put a new courthouse security plan on hold because it might run afoul of state law.
Tougher screening procedures were slated to take effect Wednesday.
. . .
For a time last week, it appeared the new Pierce County plan might get shot down over gun-handling procedures.
Firearms rights activists debated the issue online when an item about it was posted on thenewstribune.com’s Lights & Sirens blog. The original announcement from the county said the new screening rules wouldn’t affect “procedures applicable to citizens who possess valid concealed weapons permits.”
That left out people who openly carry weapons in a state that allows citizens to have handguns strapped to their hips, some said.
The subject also drew the attention of County Council Chairman Roger Bush, who said during a Tuesday study session that he worried about the policy’s legality regarding firearms.
County spokesman Hunter George said the rules had been misstated; Dorman gave assurances the new procedures would be “in full compliance” with state law.
Bush said he was satisfied with the gun lockup plans.
