What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? WA State
I have a question regarding the 4th, search and siezure of firearm...
If a law abiding citizen, meaning has valid concealed pistol license, not a criminal, walks into a private place of buisness, that place of buisness happens to have xray and metal detector, can the buisness seize and search your person and property?
Person has firearm in back pack, goes through security and the gun is detected via xray, does the buisness have the right to detain and search your bag for the firearm and anything else? If the person made no intentions of committing a crime and perhaps just forgot the firearm was in the bag.
Keep in mind the buisness is private and the person is known to the buisness to have a good realationship with them.
I understand when you submit your items for xray, you basically consent to a search. If the buisness knows you are in good standing and legally have a gun than I would think they could basically just ask you to leave.
Thanks
