Re: Seattle's solution to crime

Looking a little further into this signage, it states "We are proud participants in Washington Ceasefire and City of Seattle GUN FREE ZONE" . Again, this is generated from an anti-gun group, "Washington Ceasefire", not necessarily the City of Seattle. However the mayor appears to support this group. (What do mayors know?)
I found no information on any group called "Seattle GUN FREE ZONE". Just a term coined by the anti-gun group.

Re: Seattle's solution to crime

I'd like to know where that sign was obtained. Reading the Seattle code laws listed at the bottom of the sign makes no mention of firearms as far as I can tell, and looking at SMC 12A.14.080 "Unlawful use of weapons", which is not listed on that sign, makes this sign no more binding than the gunbuster signs found in Austin or anywhere else in Texas.
The statute says that you can make your own sign but I think whoever made this sign did not comply with the Seattle Municipal Codes here , here, here, and here.
And this is the official sign. It basically says you must be a patron and not committing any crime. Concealed carry seems to be perfectly legal as far as I've read so far. I haven't done all the research yet but I know someone here is sure to.
