Well here we are again in Whatcom County.
I had been waiting, at the jail, for a bit before my Sweet Baboo got off work. She came out and we were kitting up before the slow ride home on the bikes. A Whatcom County Sheriff approached us and he said to Lori, "Is this Him?" "yep, that's my Husband." Herself replied. and to my surprise and embarrassment, the Sheriff said..."I wanted to shake your hand for standing up for the rest of us. I really like what you do." He was very demonstrative and enthusiastic about "The People" being armed and he agreed Everyone should.
Now I said all the "thank yous", but I was just the representative at the time. All of us work to "normalize" Open Carry and, my friends, it is working. You are making a difference in the "hearts and minds" of the population. Good on you.
