My State (Washington) preempts ALL firearm laws, and does not allow any city or county to create any ordinance that is more restrictive than what is already restricted in State Law.
The State Preemption is right here:

And the "Off Limits" areas are found right here,
http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=9.41.300, and http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=9.41.280
In a nutshell, the places that are restricted are court facilities (although they must provide the citizen with a lock box, or individual that will store your weapon), liquor establishments that are off limits to those under 21, school facilities (with certain exceptions), law enforcement facilities, and places where inmates are housed.
There is also a law that allows cities and counties the ability to restrict firearms in stadiums and convention centers, but strictly exempts those who possess a Concealed Pistol License – although you do not *have* to conceal it. You can carry it openly or concealed.
This brings me to my question,
One city in particular has created a specific ordinance that restricts the carry of firearms in their city park. It’s listed on their municipal code, and this ordinance is not in compliance with state law.
Who does one complain to, to get this removed?
