| Description | A Spokane Valley legislator pulled a gun during a confrontation with another motorist last November in what police reports describe as a road rage incident. He was cited for two violations of state firearms law.
Republican Matt Shea, a state representative seeking a third term this fall, had a handgun in his pickup truck and had let his concealed weapons permit expire, a violation of state law, when he was contacted by Spokane police investigating reports of erratic driving and one driver threatening another with a handgun.
An attorney who serves on a committee with jurisdiction over most firearms legislation, Shea is an outspoken defender of Second Amendment rights. He is facing a re-election challenge from Democrat Amy Biviano in the 4th Legislative District. Both will move through the Aug. 7 primary ballot into the Nov. 6 general election. |
