Was in Bremerton today
A friend and I rode the ferry from Seattle to Bremerton today. Getting on the ferry on the Seattle side was the hard part. The ticket lady did not know if OC was legal on the Ferry. She had to call the captain and a state patrol officer to figure out that OC on the ferry is legal.
The ferry ride was nice the sky was too hazy to call it a clear day though.
I had never been to Bremerton on foot before so walking around was new. We walked over a hill and found the local court house and watch a cop car disappear behind the court house. While coming down we walked passed the court house we were ambushed by a cop. He starts on about how he is the biggest second amendment supporter, etc. Then he gets into the whole we've had a couple of calls come in and I wanted to make sure you were not any known bad guys, do you mind if I ask you a couple of questions?
My response was, "Am I free to go?"
His response was, "Yes."
I asked him the safest way to navigate the intersection, he told us, and we left. My friend told him, "Thanks." Then my friend told me that I should have seen the look on the cop's face when I asked him if I was free to go and then processed to leave. I did note that a second, cop, car had appeared from the direction we had been walking from.
Had lunch at the sushi/teriyaki place that looks like it was a gas station at one time. They had good food there.
After lunch we made it back to Seattle and to Federal Way with out any further police encounter.
There are the people who give discussed looks when they see another citizen openly carrying.
