4:57p - Wow. Our State rocks.
http://www.leg.wa.gov/RCW/index.cfm?section=9.41.300&fuseaction=section
RCW 9.41.300
Weapons prohibited in certain places -- Local laws and ordinances -- Exceptions -- Penalty.

(1) It is unlawful for any person to enter the following places when he or she knowingly 
possesses or knowingly has under his or her control a weapon:

(d) That portion of an establishment classified by the state liquor control board 
as off-limits to persons under twenty-one years of age.

(9) Subsection (1)(d) of this section does not apply to the proprietor of the premises 
or his or her employees while engaged in their employment.

(11) "Weapon" as used in this section means any firearm, explosive as defined 
in RCW 70.74.010, or instrument or weapon listed in RCW 9.41.250.



So, if you are a waitress at a bar, I would highly encourage you to explore the idea of obtaining your Concealed Pistol License and carrying a concealed firearm.

Additionally, I found this very interesting:

http://www.leg.wa.gov/RCW/index.cfm?section=9.41.060&fuseaction=section

RCW 9.41.060
Exceptions to restrictions on carrying firearms.

The provisions of RCW 9.41.050 shall not apply to:

     (8) Any person engaging in a lawful outdoor recreational activity such as 
hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, or horseback riding, only if, considering all 
of the attendant circumstances, including but not limited to whether the person 
has a valid hunting or fishing license, it is reasonable to conclude that the person 
is participating in lawful outdoor activities or is traveling to or from a legitimate 
outdoor recreation area;

     (9) Any person while carrying a pistol unloaded and in a closed opaque 
case or secure wrapper;



So... you don't need a CPL to carry if you're engaged in a "lawful outdoor recreational activity". The requirement to have a CPL is defined in RCW 9.41.050.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... That has some interesting implications...

Unfortunately RCW 9.41.060 also exempts retired law enforcement officers from the requirements of RCW 9.41.050. California had a similar exemption that was killed in one of the lower court rulings of Silveira v. Lockyer. I suspect that if this provision was challenged in our state, it would be similarly stricken from the books.

Other interesting local legal tidbits:

The State Constitution ROCKS.

Check this out:

SECTION 1 POLITICAL POWER.
All political power is inherent in the people, and governments derive their just 
powers from the consent of the governed, and are established to protect and maintain individual rights.



So, does this mean that if I don't consent to be governed, that no state law applies to me?

current mood: mischievous
