ok, so how is this? the mayor of Seattle made a gun law that clearly violates state law. take a look:
Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels, in a sweeping attempt to respond to a rarely occurring problem, has issued an executive order banning firearms from all Seattle city facilities, including parks, Seattle Center, and community centers. The order includes holders of concealed pistol licenses (CPLs).
Mayor Nickels apparently has a reading comprehension problem. The statute, RCW 9.41.300, is clear as can be:
(2) Cities, towns, counties, and other municipalities may enact laws and ordinances:
. . .
(b) Restricting the possession of firearms in any stadium or convention center, operated by a city, town, county, or other municipality, except that such restrictions shall not apply to:
(i) Any pistol in the possession of a person licensed under RCW 9.41.070 or exempt from the licensing requirement by RCW 9.41.060; or
That last part, refering to 9.41.070, is the concealed pistol license section.
But the Mayor thinks that his reading of a confused decision by Justice Fairhurst overrides plain language. I guess I should not be too surprised: in our postmodern world words can only mean what nobody thinks they mean.
So how would something like this hold up in court?
