City of Bellingham personal rights over step

[WAcoyotehunter]

I don't post in this section often, but this potential ordinance touched a nerve.  It seems like a pretty clear over step by a local government. If anyone's interested there is a meeting tomorrow to determine how the city proceeds.

Wow.

Can't be legal, can it?

I read this BS earlier. How are they gonna enforce this?

We know that most municipalities have instructed thier police forces to give more latitude with the law right now.

Just another example of the cultural and political divide between those that live in cities and those that don't. I am quite happy in the county.

It wouldn't surprise me if they tried something like this in Bellingham, I cant find that document on any of the city of Bellingham sites. Do you have a link to it??

WTH. This is rediculous

I’m particularly worried about 5, 7 and 9. The very time when you need protection and ammo and they are not only stopping you from buying, if you already own one you can’t carry it.

Gonna need to crank the rope factories up to full production before all is said and done here

If the city was truly worried about the safety of its citizens it would be requiring its law abiding concealed carry citizens to carry.

An important part of the document was left off of the screen shot above.  As I mentioned in the other thread - this is definitely an overreach, but the city council is only voting to authorize the mayor to issue the order at a later date - which the council must then confirm "as soon as possible."

Not an instant restriction to 2A rights, but the mayor and council need to know that they won't be able to slip this provision in, and especially not issue and confirm the order, without political consequences. 

It would be interesting to get the police chief on record about whether or not they would enforce the order, if issued.

In a time when most Lib cities are considering releasing prisoners, and not enforcing laws less than gross misdemeanor, this would fit right in with the Liberal agenda that a criminals rights are are important than the law abiding citizens.
