You guys have done an amazing job coordinating this event. I'm confident it will go just fine, and there will be no issues that cannot be remedied by the wonderful team in charge. As the saying goes.... "If you build it, they will come." You can only do so much, and I believe you've all helped to make the necessary arrangements to ensure this event goes smooth and that everyone has a great time!

Don't forget to have a good time during the event! You deserve it!

I'd like to meet you guys at the McDonalds @ 512/ I-5, to roll down there with you.


Song suggestion... David Bowie "This is not America"...

I will be there. So as far as I can tell we're meeting at the McD's at 512 and I5 at ~7:30? Is there a prohibition to carrying a long gun? If not is there a prohibition to carrying it loaded? I see in the pictures from last year a few people with long guns but can't tell if they were loaded. I know that carrying a loaded long gun in a vehicle is against the law. Also, if needed I have a 10' canopy a folding table and some folding chairs I can bring.

Yes some people did carry long guns but no they were not loaded.I prefer them not to be and would hope OCDO would set the standard.By all means we could use the extra canopy and chairs and table.Thank you.

By the way It is my understanding that a CPL is required to carry on capital grounds.

All long arms must be carried unloaded in your vehicle.

? Cite?

Yes, I know that while a long gun is in a vehicle it must be unloaded, which I stated.

 

[DEROS72]

Well after doing some checking I believe I was incorrect about the cpl on capital grounds.My apologies.We had no issues last year.

I passed some bad info to Jim, here is the WAC info:

OK,, I don't get it. It looks like carrying a firearm on the grounds is prohibited. We had a LOT of people carrying firearms last year, and during the SB 6396 judicial committee hearings people had sidearms. I'm sure they weren't loaded....

Reading this tells me it's against the law. Yet none of us were arrested last year. Am I missing something here?

Read the last bolded part of what you quoted. That's why.

 

[golddigger14s]

Dangerous

While in my possession they are not dangerous.

 

[Just Us]

We're not disrupting state business and we're following 9.41.

 

[Squeak]

This was last week and they haven't arrested me.....yet!
