#4 "...Court records show Maldonado has an extensive juvenile criminal history dating back to 1998. He has been convicted of burglary, theft and possession of burglary tools and he had been ordered not to possess any weapons, the Times reported."

Three convictions and he was on the street anyway. Maybe its time for Washington State will rethink their sentencing guidelines.

#5 Washington state does have the three-strikes rule.

Of course that doesn't mean they enforce it. Someone probably has a program to release them -- all on the name of diversity of course.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? Any good leftie knows that even law-abiding citizens can't possess any weapons in WA State anyways, so why was this an "order"? (/sarcasm off/)

#7 you guys probably didnt know that Washington is a great example of the RED BLUE polorization states.
Everything outside the Puget Sound East Side Corridor and a little of the West, is very conservative. The huge Metro areas of course are very liberal,VERY! Thus there is always a pretty good debate going on between the polotics of Spokane vs Seattle.

#9 we do get a pretty good share of crazies up here though, its a combo of the weather and the heavy PC atmosphere me thinks.

#10 Actually,

WA is a "shall issue" state; I live in OR, and have a CCW there, and was easily able to obtain a WA CCW by simply applying.

So it seems not many people take advantage of being armed. Too bad, there are 2 excellent firearms schools up there; Insights training and Seattle firearms academy.
