Once the bill is signed into law, lawsuits will be filed.
SB 5444 is a bill that follows New York, California, and New Jersey in expanding “sensitive locations”
= = =
I seem to remember a female who had secured her handgun in a ‘sensitive location’.
Does this bill cover that situation?
ALL DemocRAT women are ghastly, ugly crones who are as stupid as they are ugly. McGhastly is just one of the many.
The carrying of weapons by civilians was left in place by the founders in the Constitution because there was so little amounts of law enforcement people to protect citizens. And as far up as militias was included in that thought.
So until the government can guarantee that protection while they are defunding and laying off and culling police, then the opportunity and need for protection continues and in many cases increases. The governments take on that responsibility, and arfe paid to do it, and have failed to either stop the violence or get the people to buy into trying to blame the honest gun owners for it.
But they keep trying to limit the ownership of protection partially because it is from them. And bills like this rub the public the wrong way. But they have king county and anything from anyone else to back them. It’ll pass. And then we wait for the next destruction of protection.
Many remember CHAZ, or CHOP, up here so we have first hand experience as to how far it can go. The police couldn’t stop it, just limit it...kind of. And they were lucky, it could have expanded and many could have been killed. And it’s bills like this that create the opportunty for a return engagment they, again, won’t be able to control and this time possibly even contain. And you can easily replace the word possibly with likely.

And Belltown will be much safer because the thugs will be so afraid of these new laws they will drop their stolen handguns for dandelion flowers.
OK, I live in the Soviet of Washington. Those that don't live here need to understand two important things. First, in a recent initiative, the majority of voters decided at a tubular magazine 22 rim fire semiautomatic rifle is now legally defined as an assault weapon or weapon of war. That is the mentality of the voters in this state. Second, you need to understand that State Supreme Court Justices are elected officials, yes elected by the same ultra liberal voters who vote from anti-second Amendment legislators.
Actually, judges are even worse, they are usually temporarily appointed to the unexpired term of a retiring justice either by an ultra-liberal Bar Association, or as a Democratic Party favor to a loyal political hack. Then they run as an experienced independent and more reasonable candidates get branded as inexperienced and the sheep vote in the liberal judges. That is why there are few legal challenges in State Court to violations of the State Constitution's equivalent to the second amendment. Again, it would be a kangaroo court, so few want to take on issues. Most hope for federal courts to right the wrong.
Now we get to the interesting part. The version of this legislation that I read, exempted those with concealed carry licenses from much of the sensitive area legislation. A big part of the bill I read was about restricting open carry or as some would call Constitutional Carry.
When I look at my fellow travelers within the Soviet of Washington who don't know the difference between a semi-automatic tubular fed 22 LR that I might have used at a Scouting camp in my youth or a military fully automatic Assault Rifle, I can understand that if they see someone open carrying on a public bus might make them quite uncomfortable. Does that mean someone's rights under the bill of rights should be forfeited? No, but it does make sense that legislators and State judges would not want to loose their paychecks and influence.
You know... We have GUNS. Supposedly... to deter stuff EXACTLY like this...
Instead of hot and cold running lawsuits... Why don’t we just summon our inner Patrick Henry?
