Wash. Reps Work to End Stadium Gun Ban

Courtney Cameron Headshot

Republican legislators for Washington state have proposed a new bill which, if passed, would end the ban on concealed firearms inside public sporting venues. The bill, supported by representatives Matt Shea, David Taylor and Bob McCaslin, is expected to be introduced during the January legislative session.

According to The Huffington Post, House Bill 105 is intended to prevent stadiums from prohibiting “persons with a valid concealed pistol license” from carrying a licensed firearm “in any facility or on any grounds of a facility.” This would have a significant effect on both the Mariners’ Safeco Field and the Seahawks’ CenturyLink Field in Seattle, as both are privately operated but housed on public land. Both the MLB and the NFL have a strict no-weapon policy in-stadium.
