Senate Bill 5038 makes it a crime to openly carry, on the person or in a vehicle, a firearm or other “weapon” if the person is participating in, or attending, a “permitted demonstration” in a public place. Despite permitting individuals to use an area for the exercise of their First Amendment rights, anti-gun legislators want to ban those individuals from exercising their Second Amendment rights in the same permitted space. The Constitution was not written with gradually disappearing ink where one right is more important than another. The Second Amendment should not be infringed upon in any capacity, especially where other Constitutional Rights are being freely and openly expressed.
Further, SB 5038 makes it a crime to open carry a firearm on Washington State Capitol grounds. Open carry on the capitol campus during 2A rallies has always been peaceful and without a single incident of violence, however, it will now be banned without reason.
NRA Members are strongly encouraged to contact their State Representative and politely ask them to OPPOSE anti-self-defense legislation, Senate Bill 5038

Does that mean you accepted my challenge? I can wait the several years for this to resolve.

I got to think that it will get thrown out in time.

Can't open carry into a bar or a courthouse so explain to me how this is different on the capital grounds? I don’t see that portion being thrown out of court.Ive Been to a Bar in Nevada where a guy open carried having a whiskey... didnt bother me.
Just because those places have been deemed verboten doesnt mean that it mist be so everywhere. L

Last time I checked this ain't Nevada. My comment was specifically for capital grounds.
