I am going to ask that you back up and back off the "Untruthful" statements! Since it appears that I must now revert to being an Educator, please follow along.
First off. The Puyallup Fairgrounds is State Owned Property! Being a Resident in the State of Washington, I own that just as much as you do.
Now, what are the laws in the State of Washington involving Carry of a Firearm? First I will start with our Washington State Constitution.
http://www.leg.wa.gov/LawsAndAgencyRules/Pages/constitution.aspx Please pay attention to Article 1 Section 24 RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS. The right of the individual citizen to bear arms in defense of himself, or the state, shall not be impaired, but nothing in this section shall be construed as authorizing individuals or corporations to organize, maintain or employ an armed body of men.
Effect of your refusal to allow me to carry in your functions that are basically open to the public You impaired my Rights!
Now let's look at the limitations the State of Washington applies to my carry. Found at
http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=9.41 and specifically 9.41.050 States that I shall not carry concealed without a permit having been properly issued and even if I did not get that concealed pistol permit as long as I am not excluded from legally carrying a firearm it would only be a misdemeanor offense.
The area's specified by Washington State Law (RCW) that are listed as restricted from legal carry are contained in RCW 9.41.300
http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=9.41.300 and they are:
* jail, or of a law enforcement facility, or any place used for the confinement of a person (i) arrested for, charged with, or convicted of an offense, (ii) held for extradition or as a material witness,
* areas in any building which are used in connection with court proceedings, including courtrooms, jury rooms, judge's chambers, offices and areas used to conduct court business, waiting areas, and corridors adjacent to areas used in connection with court proceedings.
* restricted access areas of a public mental health facility certified by the department of social and health services for inpatient hospital care and state institutions for the care of the mentally ill, excluding those facilities solely for evaluation and treatment.
* That portion of an establishment classified by the state liquor control board as off-limits to persons under twenty-one years of age
* restricted access areas of a commercial service airport designated in the airport security plan approved by the federal transportation security administration,
Now, drop YOUR failure to be truthful and try your post again!
