I recently had to go see the judge about a good to go infraction at this location 4554 9th Ave NE Suite 100 seattle 98105. I did not have my pistol with me, however when I showed up to the metal detector, I requested a locker for my pocket knife. I was told weapons lockers are ONLY for pistols. I was told to leave it in my vehicle (which I did not have) or throw it away. I promptly reviewed RCW 9.41.300 and under section B it looks like knives fall under "weapons"
and then this part
Am I crazy for thinking that I should be able to lock up my knife? I'd really like to right a letter but I am not very good at that and I am not really sure where to start and or who to contact.
Names:
Officer David Ruiz
Officer (didn't get a first name) Reed
Both work for "Phoenix Protective"
After bringing RCW 9.41.300 to their attention, I then asked, what if I came in with my pistol and a pocket knife. I was told "You will only be able to lock up your pistol, not your knife"
Grrrrr
For purposes of this subsection (1)(b), "weapon" means any firearm, explosive as defined in RCW 70.74.010, or any weapon of the kind usually known as slung shot, sand club, or metal knuckles, or any [highlight]knife[/highlight], dagger, dirk, or other similar weapon that is capable of causing death or bodily injury and is commonly used with the intent to cause death or bodily injury.
and then this part
In addition, the local legislative authority shall provide either a stationary locked box sufficient in size for pistols and key to a weapon owner for [highlight]weapon storage[/highlight],
