James, State Parks prohibits the discharge of firearms within or into a
State Park. Hunting is also prohibited.
The state laws on carry of a pistol also apply on Park land and you will
find these in RCW 9.41. If you have a concealed pistol license you may
legally carry a pistol within our parks. Rangers seldom have cause to
contact someone who is licensed and carrying a concealed pistol because
there are few problems with CPL holders and the pistols are concealed.
Occasionally, we have had visitor complaints when a pistol is carried
openly and then a ranger may contact a person to ensure that state laws
are complied with.

Subject: Firearms in Wa. State Parks.
What are the rules for the carrying of firearms on your person in Wa.
State parks and recreational lands?
Don't forget that said music festivals must ALSO meet certain "expected attendance" requirements of, I believe at least 2000 persons, otherwise it don't count.See FAQ question 1. There are only a small handful of places statutorily off limits to gun carry in Washington State, and the four RCW's that describe them are listed in the first question. State parks are not one of the handful off off limits places. UNLESS a legally defined outdoor music festival is being held at one, and only then within the confines of the outdoor music festival itself.
Oooo, you and your silly "legalese"Which is why I said "legally defined" outdoor music festival.
So says the Coastie Yah want to hear my story about the newbie Coastie and a boarding in Brookings?sv_libertarian wrote:Oooo, you and your silly "legalese"Which is why I said "legally defined" outdoor music festival.
Heck yea, I love to hear these stories.FMCDH wrote:So says the Coastie Yah want to hear my story about the newbie Coastie and a boarding in Brookings?sv_libertarian wrote:Oooo, you and your silly "legalese"Which is why I said "legally defined" outdoor music festival.
Well the Brookings incident was just funny really. You had to be there. We were also tired so perhaps the antics of a newbie crew (we were told later they were undergoing training) was funnier than normal.Gezz (Facepalm)
Here is rule 1 when dealing with military in civil settings and they are ignoring procedure or being otherwise unsafe.
Ask to talk to their commanding officer or the watch OOD. The master/operator of a vessel has every right to request such a conversation.
