As some of you may know, my brother in law has mental disorders. I frequently work with his case workers to help him. Just yesterday, I visited the "Navos Mental Health Solutions" campus in Burien, to drop off his S.S.I. check.
I was walking down the outside path, when a gentleman asked me:
"Sir, is that a weapon?"
Me: "Yes, it is."
Man - "Oh, I think you have to leave it in the car. If I remember right, this property is a weapons free zone, but I'll call for security to double check."
*Security shows up moments later*
Security officer introduced himself as "Pete"
Pete : "Yeah.. unfortunately, this property is a weapons free zone.. so do ya think you might be able to leave it in the car?"
Me: "Yeah, that's not a problem. But by chance, do you know if this is a publicly funded organization operated through a government agency?"
Pete: "I think it's privately funded by a non profit organization, but couldn't tell ya for sure. I just work security. *Laughs*"
Me: "Ohh ok. No problem. I can put it in the car.. but all I need to do is drop this check off."
Then we proceeded back to the front, and he was talking to me about my firearm. He was telling me that if it were up to him, he would gladly let me have it there. He said the place is "very far left" and he proceeded to thank me for supporting 2nd Amendment rights. He told me it "takes a lot of courage" to carry a firearm openly, and he applauded me for doing so. We had a nice conversation about it for about 10 minutes before I finally put my firearm back in the car. I told him I understood how he can't risk his job, so I had no problem complying.
He insisted that I do more research on the organization to ensure the policy is not in violation. He admitted he was just "doing as told."
Here's a link to their website.
What do you say? Does it appear to be private property?
