Just wrote a letter to the mayor of my town because they have signs posted saying no guns in parks. That is a violation of state law and other cities that have done this in the past have been forced to take signs down. I will update when i get a response. If he feeds me a line of crap i will forward the conversation to a local news agency that likes this type of drama.
Mr. Mayor
My name is BLANK and I live in the City of BLANK. I also was issues a Concealed Pistol License by the BLANK Police Dept. Last week when I was taking my three year old son to play at BLANK Park I noticed the sign that says Firearms Prohibited.
To my understanding Washington has preempted the field of firearms laws, so no municipality can make their own laws about carrying or other firearms related matters. This was demonstrated a couple years ago when the City of Seattle posted Firearms Prohibited signs at city parks. When this was challenged in court they were forced to take the signs down because it violated Washington state laws.
Can you please look into this I feel it is a very important issue.
Thank You for your time
