I was rather shocked to see on KIMA TV in Yakima County did a report on how being armed in Block Watch Programs Are Not Allowed by Yakima County !!!!!
And here I thought I had all the issues concerning firearms dealt with here but apparently there is someone in Yakima or the County that do not know firearms laws I know surprise surprise :exclaim:
Here I bet the City and County thought there were done hearing from me!
I am sure this is coming from the shooting in Florida and some reports are starting to pop up about local block watch's carry ing or not.
A rather good report was done by KNDU TV Looking into Washington's "Stand Your Ground" law
KENNEWICK, Wash. -- "In Washington, it came from our State Supreme Court, not our legislature, but it specifically states that a person does not have a duty to retreat. In other words, they have the right to stand their ground if they're faced with a felony threat or the threat of violence and defend themselves," says Benton County Prosecutor Andy Miller.
31 states have some form of the Stand Your Ground Law, which basically allows a person to use deadly force in self-defense when there is reasonable belief of a threat, without an obligation to retreat first.
Workman, here is likely another story for you to write on.
