The City of Oak Harbor is getting national attention after a recent video posted to YouTube shows a city councilmember walking out in the middle of a meeting when he learned a resident was carrying a concealed weapon inside city chambers.

"This is the time set aside for the council to accept citizen comments," responded Grant Weed, interim city attorney. "I am not sure that there is anything in your council rules or procedures that invite the council to ask questions in return, but if the individual is willing to answer the question that is fine."

Yonkman told the council he was comfortable answering and confirmed that, "Yes, I have a concealed carry permit, and I am concealed carrying at this moment."

After learning he was carrying a concealed weapon, Councilmember Almberg made a motion to ask anyone carrying a firearm in the chambers to check their weapon with the police chief or police department, or leave the chambers.

Almberg's motion failed 4 to 2 and that's when the councilmember told the mayor he was going to leave the meeting.

-Not sure what to say about this. Other then no laws were broken. Here is the YT video. But I think the news story link on KOMO is better. When it comes down to it, I believe the council member had no right to ask the man. Then again, the man answered. I like this for one reason, both men are proud Americas, with strong opinions, and public servants.
