First we have to worry about politicians trying to infringe on our 2nd amendment rights now we have thee Chief of Police to worry about.
"Counties and municipalities should not be restricted from enacting laws to ban the open carrying of firearms. The state should not interfere with safety concerns in a municipality or county. We hope the Nieves’ bill dies in the Senate. And we hope the Washington council exercises its authority to enact an ordinance to address a safety concern brought to the attention of the public by Chief Hahn."

Where are the safety concerns the Chief is talking about I haven't heard or been able to find any references to "accidents" because of open carry. May 3, 2012
