I'd check the exact wording of the statute (unfortunately packing.org is down at the moment). The VFW post is a private club, rather than a commercial establishment. Would it be illegal for me to walk into my own house while carrying, if there was a beer in my fridge?
I guess she forgot to bring her cactus and wind chimes with her.
I was about to post the exact same thing. Chris Rock is a riot.
“The 39-year-old assailant burst into the hall, grabbed the victim and slashed her with a large knife, witnesses told police.”
Idiot brought a knife to a gun fight. He got what he deserved. Too bad his innocent ex died also....
the protection order would have helped to build a case and protected her in court for when she did shoot him dead when he came after her. Too bad it didn’t happen that way.
IIRC, Utah law states that maximum allowable blood alcohol while carrying is .08%, same as for operating a motor vehicle.
I think that's reasonable...you can have a glass of wine with dinner and still be legal to shoot the mugger in the restaurant parking lot.
The deadliest street in any city bears this name. What a legacy.
I think that Mythbusters needs to do a show on this.
Word.
“Likely won’t face charges??? This guy should be given an award, not a court date.”
Since it is King County I would think the guy is going to be put through some kind of hassle.
Depends on the laws of that state...
Some state do not allow carry into any establishment that “sells” alcohol...
Some say you can carry in a bar/restaurant that sells alcohol...
Some states like mine (Texas) allow you to carry into an establishment that sells alcohol...Liquor store, etc etc...
But you would not be legal to carry into an place that derives more the 51% in sales from the “on-premises consumption” of alcohol...That would be your bars, ice-houses etc etc...
So it just kinda depends on the state...
There is a great website that tabulates all of this, I think its called “handgunlaws.us”, I think you can find a lot of answers there...It mainly caters to the Concealed Weapons community around the country, but its still a good reference for those interested...
Too bad she didn’t glue copies of the restraining order all over her clothes.
I’m SURE they would have protected her from the knife wounds.
He was violent but she had four children with him. Now the taxpayers get to raise their spawn. Great.
Whoever would have thought it! A protective order is neither knife nor bullet proof!
My prayers to her family.
Just guessing, but I'd GUESS that the taxpayers are already footing the bill.
So the moral of the story is: which is more effective, a court order or a CCW? Too bad the victim couldn’t be saved-if only she relied more on herself and less on the government...
Those court protection orders sure do a lot of good, don’t they.
The guy ought not face charges. He’s a hero. Good for him.
