About the police/fire response near Roxhill Park

| West Seattle news | West Seattle police | Westwood

Several texters asked about the police response across from the northwest corner of Roxhill Park, at 29th/Barton. We went over to check it out, and here is what we have found out from SPD: Two men were working on the vehicle in the photo; a passerby called 911 to say they thought they had seen one in possession of a gun. Police converged on the area but found no evidence of a gun. They did discover that one of the men appeared to be seriously under the influence and in need of medical attention as a result, so thats why Seattle Fire was called in.

I might be crazy, but I’ve noticed a handful of people “working on their cars” in residential neighborhoods that are actually living in them/doing other sketchy stuff. I’ll see cars in my neighborhood for a week or two, then gone forever. From my own observations, they looked like tweakers.

How dare you call them tweakers! You have no idea!! I’m just kidding. Anyone who hasn’t lived under a rock knows the look and mannerisms /behavior of a tweaker and unfortunately I’ve seen the same

Anyone can possess a firearm, so long as it isn’t concealed and even then it is legal to carry with a CEO. No need to call the police.

“ANYONE” can possess a firearm?

  Yes, “Anyone over 21” can legally carry a firearm.

    … if they are not a convicted felon.

And so why do so many convicted felons carry a firearm if they’re to suppose to?

“So many”? Don’t know if that’s so. Anyway, here’s the state law. Apparently some federal statutes too.
