Legislators in the state of Washington have proposed a bill that would allow fans to bring guns into sports stadiums, including Seattle’s CenturyLink Field and Safeco Field.

The proposal would prevent public stadiums or the private entities that operate them, from banning people with a valid concealed pistol license from entering with a firearm. It’s a proposal that is at odds with NFL and Major League Baseball regulations.

“We haven’t seen the proposed legislation but we have a policy forbidding carrying a weapon into NFL stadiums,” Brian McCarthy, the NFL’s vice president of communications, said in an email Sunday morning to The Post.

The Seattle stadiums, home of the Seahawks and Mariners and Seahawks, are privately operated and the proposal would extend to private operators of public spaces, stadium authorities and public facilities districts. The bill was proposed by Republican representatives Matt Shea, David Taylor and Bob McCaslin.

3. As a Seahawks season ticket holder that is one of the stupidest ideas

I have ever heard. It's not a commonplace thing but occasionally fights have broken out.

Would be a disaster to have firearms at a game.

4. And the giant shootout would be broadcast on live TV. Yee-hawwwww!

7. They could replay it on the Jumbo Tron! Ya hooooo!

Committing mass murder at a huge sold-out stadium would allow some lunatic piece of trash to be seen in all his manly glory all over the world.

5. Red Sox Spring Training Stadium in Ft. Myers

Did you know they actually search people before going into the Stadium? This is in the "Gunshine State".

Very BAD idea guns at sporting events, same as in bars.

We need to thin the pro-sports fanatical herd.
