Gun Ban Upheld by Snohomish County Council
Please Contact the County Council Today!
Yesterday, the Snohomish County Council decided to uphold a 1970’s-era prohibition on firearms in county parks. Councilmember John Koster introduced a proposal that would have overturned the county’s ban and brought Snohomish County into compliance with state law but it failed due to a procedural motion.
The proposal would have modified existing county code so that law-abiding citizens with a Concealed Pistol License could carry a firearm for self-defense while on county park property. The discharge of a firearm, for any purpose other than self-defense, would still have been illegal.
Please take the time to respectfully voice your disapproval with the County Council’s actions. Also, please contact Councilmember Koster and thank him for his efforts to defeat this outdated, Draconian restriction. Contact information can be found below.
