Myself and another Veteran were removed from the 2009 Veteran's Association Wheelchair Games at the Spokane Convention Center, Group Health NW Building, on Thursday July 16, 2009.
The VA Medical Center Chief of Police (Spokane) was friendly and polite, but insisted that the privately owned location was leased by the VA and therefore federal property and weapons were prohibited. Oddly enough he claimed that the VA operates under concurrent jurisdiction with the City of Spokane. So much for the 2nd amendment, the 10th amendment and RCW 9.41.290.
We had a pleasant conversation with the C.O.P. as we left the building, but that conversation was completely unrelated to Open-Carry.
EDIT: mp3 attached to my followup post with multi-quotes.
