Proposed Washington state bill would let fans bring guns to Seahawks games
Kirby Lee / USA TODAY Sports
Legislators in Washington state have proposed a bill that would allow fans to bring guns to sports games.
Prefiled by Republican representatives, the bill would permit licensed fans to carry concealed weapons into Washington's stadiums and arenas, according to The Washington Post's Cindy Boren.
Among the venues affected would be CenturyLink Field, home of the Seattle Seahawks and MLS' Seattle Sounders, and Safeco Field, home of the Seattle Mariners.
The NFL told the Post it opposes the legislation and has a league policy forbidding fans from bringing weapons to games.
