It IS actually against the law to carry on the GRCC campuses. WAC listed below. Others might want to check for similar Codes.
Violation seems to cap out at expulsion.
How ever someone told me there is a RCW that says any violation of a WAC is also considered a Gross misdemeanor. (I have not found that one yet.)
WAC 132J-125-150
Firearms/explosives.
Any student who, while in any college facility or participating in a college-related program, uses or has on his/her person firearms or explosive materials, without written permission of the vice-president for marketing and student development or vice-president's designee, shall be subject to discipline.
I am actually going to go in and make an appointment with the vice-president for marketing and student development; and request both verbally and in writing to be allowed to retain my firearm on the basis that...
1) They do not offer a location to secure it
2) My vehicle would be unsafe based on their car prowl record
3) It would be irresponsible for me to leave it unattended in my vehicle for several hours at a time.
4) The Seattle Raceway parking location is remote and open to public access, which increases the possibility of vehicle prowl.
5) Because my vehicle is not located in ease of access to my location, I can not control or respond to an incident involving my vehicle in a timely manner.
6) Both State and Federal Governments have concluded that I am fully capable of proper and logical judgment when possessing a firearm.
7) There would be no impact on the daily activities of the other students as the firearm would be concealed and rendered safe in accordance with Washington State Concealed Carry Laws. (RCW 9.41)
Because of these factors, the firearm is safer with me than being located in my vehicle.
My biggest concern is item 1...They might try and say that I can go to the Safety desk and leave the firearm there.
To which I rebut, "Is there a dedicated locking device there which only I have access too?"
What do you think my chances are?
