Washington Lt. Gov. Skips Governor's Speech Because People with Concealed Carry Permits Could Attend


The Everett Daily Herald (Jerry Cornfield) reports (see also this AP story):

Lt. Gov. Cyrus Habib did not preside at the governor's address to a joint session of the Legislature on Tuesday because he felt vulnerable in the House chamber, where people can carry concealed weapons in the public galleries.

"There is no specific threat to me. There is no specific threat we know of, period," he said before the governor's speech. "It's about the policy."

Let me offer one question in reply... "If you're that afraid of the proles, what are you planning to do to us that has you pissing your pretty pink panties thinking somebody MIGHT want to give it that response?"

 

[Stomper]

When government fears the people..... there is freedom.


I'm amazed the Democrat majority in the house of reps didn't ban ALL weapons in the gallery like the senate did.

Lame excuse from a dipstick Politician who has no spine or Gonads... Hey Habib , IF you did your Job and followed the Constitution you would have nothing to worry about, Unless you Piss off Hillary !

Habib the Coward!

Really? It's the licensed carry holders that are dangerous? The most heavily vetted people that statistically commit the fewest crimes? Yet he does not fear the criminals that could sneak weapons in.

This kind of rhetoric is most unfair to a large part of constituents... RECALL!

That liberal bastard is just jealous, IMHO.

Yeah, it's lawful concealed carry folks that need to be feared. What a phuckin putz.

Pardon my French.

He's just sensationalizing to get the policy changed. And it's not about any real perceived threat or danger with these people, it's about "guns bad", kinda like "orange man bad".

 

[titsonritz]

So your telling this knothead never goes out in public, at all? Because if he does he's around people with that carry.

Wah wah wah...

^^^ Nailed it! We know this as an obvious ploy but what about those low info types in the media that push public sentiment to drive things? If this didn't ever work, he wouldn't be doing it...

He is supposed to be a public servant and uphold the law, otherwise he's a fraud and a charlatan.

He may also be a Roy Orbison impersonator!
