Crowd Packs Heat, City Backs Down
Chris Sullivan reports at MyNorthwest.com:
It's been three weeks since an Oak Harbor city councilmember started a national controversy by trying to kick out a wounded Army veteran who was legally carrying a weapon during a council meeting.
Councilmember Rick Almberg then walked out.
The council was met by 160 people Tuesday night, many who were packing heat.
"There were handguns in holsters and rifles slung over shoulders and an unknown number of people concealing their weapons as the Oak Harbor City Council met," Sullivan reports.
"Many attended the meeting to show support for veteran Lucas Yonkman who Councilmember Almberg tried to have kicked out of City Hall last month, including Joe Hawkins who openly mocked him," according to Sullivan.
"Mr. Almberg I just want you to know that I have a concealed ham sandwich right here. I don't want you to get up and walk away," Mr. Hawkins is quoted as saying.
