The face of liberal tolerance and gun control’ in Seattle, says OC citizen
Coffman was openly carrying a handgun in a peaceable manner, an act that is perfectly legal in Washington as recognized by court rulings including State v. Gregory E. Casad. Before the incident was finished, the unidentified do-gooder allegedly demanded to know whether Coffman thought of himself as the “next George Zimmerman” and suggested he “must have a small *****,” according to Coffman’s account. In the end, when Coffman advised the man he was being photographed, he made a vulgar gesture with his middle finger, which Coffman posted to Facebook.
“We note that, in connection with this case, several individuals have commented that they would find it strange, maybe shocking, to see a man carrying a gun down the street in broad daylight. Casad’s appellate counsel conceded that she would personally react with shock, but she emphasized that an individual’s lack of comfort with firearms does not equate to reasonable alarm. We agree. It is not unlawful for a person to responsibly walk down the street with a visible firearm, even if this action would shock some people.”—State v. Gregory Casad, Washington State Court of Appeals
