Look at your keyboard - EW is a big thumb version of WA!

In WA, you CAN’T legally carry into a bar. They said he frequented the bars - they couldn’t just wait to get him on that more legally sound reason?

And - if he DID follow the law and didn’t carry into a bar - well then I guess he isn’t all that “crazy”.

Although to most Seattlites, carrying a gun in the open is pretty much proof that you ARE crazy.

Well, Seattle (aka Moscow-East) would drive any sane person insane with their Marxist policies and racism against the average white person.

Just listen to their insane governors of the state, the mayors of Seattle, and the City Council Democrat majority.

They are enough to drive me crazy and I live 3,000 thankful miles from them.

Beautiful city, infested with reds and druggies.

I totally agree with your comments.
Did this guy have any records from his
past that would paint him as a “mental”
incompetent? If not, unless he brandished
his weapon, or threatened anyone with it,
then merely because someone felt
uncomfortable in its presence, he should
be able bear it according to local law
and his 2ND amendment rights.
There is going to be a lot of court
cases in Seattle.

Two of us on the same page. Likely four but they haven’t chimed in here. In case you missed this from earlier today yet one more confirmation our opponents are at our backs. http://www.mpnnow.com/news/20180305/atf-special-agent-talks-to-victor-students-about-2nd-amendment

This is crap. Was he actually breaking any laws? There has to be some due-process or adjudication by a licensed mental health board or something.

I call BS on you.

ACP is Automatic Colt Pistol.
Many of the first auto-loading pistols were called automatics or autos, and the smaller caliber sizes were very popular before WWII. My uncle had a .32 auto he kept in his semi cab.

I guess...we have different experiences.

I think I must be younger than you...

I do...understand and have used the term.."Hand me that Sig .380 auto.."....but never have I said..."Hand me that Sig 380 automatic"

You see the difference...??

I defer to a previous poster...That pointed that out...to me.

Every gun law on the books anywhere is unconstitutional.

The Bill of Rights limits the federal government. Most state constitutions mirror the US Constitution, but not always.

Even convicted felons should be able to own a firearm just like anyone else once their sentence has been served and they have paid their dept to society.

Yeah, that depends. No one convicted of a gun crime should be out walking around unless they're geriatric. Whackjobs will get a weapon whether they legally buy it or not.

Which is why I scoff at the NRA’s call for mental health initiatives. Because the minute somebody tries that, they object.

Agreed Van. The ‘automatic’ word was used to describe the then, (110 plus or so years ago), new automatic FEEDING system from an internal magazine, The word automatic never referred to FIRING. I’m a bit surprised at some of the posts on this thread.

I recall a Seattle Fire Captain was walking out of Safeco Field with his wife and son after a Mariners game. Somehomeless bum walked up behind him and shot him in the head. My point is there are crazy people on the streets of Seattle with firearms. Maybe this guy was one of those or was he just ready for one of those...
