FED SUIT END WONT AFFECT SAF/SEATTLE SUIT

Thursday’s announcement by a Kent, page WA attorney that he has ended his federal lawsuit against the City of Seattle’s parks gun ban does not affect the on-going state-court case filed jointly by the Second Amendment Foundation and National Rifle Association.

SAF Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb noted Friday morning that there has been some confusion about the two cases. SAF and NRA were joined by the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, website like this the Washington Arms Collectors and five individual plaintiffs in their lawsuit, which found the city’s parks gun ban to be in violation of state law. That case has been appealed by the city.

“The federal case, as plaintiff Bob Warden noted in his statement, has never been connected to our case,” Gottlieb clarified. “The SAF/NRA case, which was filed first and has already won in King County Superior Court, remains very much alive and we are confident that we will prevail in the state court of appeals. -[source]
