Just what are the provisions of Washington State Law under Emergency Conditions? I bet Mayor Nicky would love to try this.
King, North Carolina slapped on some amazing, draconian – and utterly irrelevant – restrictions during their recent round of flurries, imposing a curfew, banning alcohol sales, and banning the sale of firearms and ammunition, or possession of either off of one’s property.
In other words, they declared a police state. Over snow.
It’s over – sort of.

The rest of it, though?Authorities said the state of emergency declaration would continue until Monday 9 a.m., barring any unforeseen circumstances or severe changes.
Effective Sunday afternoon, alcohol restrictions and a curfew were lifted. All other remaining restrictions would continue until Monday, said Paula May, King police chief.
Other restrictions include a ban on the sale or purchase of any type of firearm, ammunition, explosive or any possession of such items off a person’s own premises.
Also on Sunday, the emergency shelter established by the American red Cross at West Stokes High School was closed.
“We appreciate the support and cooperation of everyone with our efforts to keep the citizens of King safe,” May said.
Well, to be fair to the citizens of King, it sounds like if they didn’t “support and cooperate”, they might have wound up spending the weekend in an emergency shelter of a different kind.Also on Sunday, the emergency shelter established by the American red Cross at West Stokes High School was closed.
“We appreciate the support and cooperation of everyone with our efforts to keep the citizens of King safe,” May said.
