    Affordable options for Utah carry permit? (Seattle or East Side)

    I'm planning to do a some travel this summer to states that don't recognize Washingtons permit (Idaho, Montana, etc). I'll be on my motorcycle, so OC is not an option. Also, two other guys that are going want to carry but are not big on OC. I've looked into the Utah permit class locally and...

    Saw a unicorn today.

    I was riding my blue SV650 south on Rainier, a few blocks north of the I-90 entrance, at about 6 pm. I ended up at a light next to a guy on a maroon Honda touring bike. He was OCing - looked like a short 1911 style pistol, but I'm not sure since I was trying not to ogle. :-) I would have liked...

    Confusion about North Dakota vehicle law.

    imported post I'm a Washingtonian (the state, not the crime ridden city) visiting family in North Dakota this week. I open carry often at home and brought my pistol with me on vacation. I'm planning to carry and open carry is my only legal option since ND doesn't recognize WA permits and I...

    Went revolver shopping, came home with a shotgun stock.

    imported post I've been looking around for a .357 revolver for a while now. I really want a Colt Python, but my budget is closer to a used Ruger or S&W. :) Anyway, I stopped by the local Discount Guns today (Kirkland location) to take a peek at what they had in stock. Everything was out of my...

    Carry and check-in of firearm at Rent Regional Justice Center - no problems.

    imported post I had to serve (or at least show up for) jury duty yesterday and today (Monday and Tuesday) at the Regional Justice Center in Kent. As we're all well aware, by state law courthouses have to provide either a lock box or a "designated person" for the checking of firearms while in...

    Flagstaff public library posted "no weapons".

    imported post I'm visiting the Flagstaff area to see family over the holidays. I had the opportunity to check some books out from the public library (on a relatives account) but noticed that the building is posted "no weapons" at the entrance. Is this legal? I know that in Washington they...

    Need suggestions on a decent pair of gloves.

    imported post My brother-in-law is looking for a pair of "tactical" gloves. He needs something that's warm enough for 30-40*F weather, but that's thin enough that he can handle his pistol, load magazines, and...well....work on cars (he's a body man by trade). Keeping the hands warm in...

    National Ammo Day makes MSNBC front page.

    imported post And the report is from Seattle, of all places! I wasn't the one interviewed, but I'm glowing with pride just the same. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21877803

    Where do your rights begin and mine end?

    imported post This topic got started in another thread (http://opencarry.mywowbb.com/view_topic.php?id=3612&forum_id=52), and has been touched on in many threads on this forum. So, I figured that we might as well bring it up for discussion. Here's the gist of the argument: Where does one...

    Beware! Wayward shotgun shells sneaking into the potato chip aisle.

    imported post Niagara Falls couple finds a box of 100 Winchester shotgun shells mixed in with the potato chips. http://www.niagara-gazette.com/local/local_story_283175849.html My favorite quote: “God forbid if someone had left the box open. He could have grabbed one and thrown it on the...

    imported post Hamline University has suspended a student after he sent an e-mail suggesting that the Virginia Tech massacre might have been stopped if students had been allowed to carry concealed weapons on campus. http://thefire.org/index.php/article/8475.html

    Free State Project mentioned in an article about Ron Paul.

    imported post This isn't strictly OC related, so it's a little off-topic, but I thought the guys in this forum might be interested anyway. Congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul gave a speech over the weekend at Veteran's Park. The following site has a write-up about the speech, and...

    Took the General Defensive Handgun class this weekend

    imported post Probably the best money I ever spent on this sport/hobby/obsession. The course is two days, 8 hours each day, and takes place at the Issaquah police range in the basement of the police station. The instructer was great and I learned so much. My shooting is now much more accurate...

    "Protest Easy Guns" demonstration today in Seattle.

    imported post I really, really want to go to Seattle to show support for the pro-gun side of the equation, but there's no way I can get from the East Side to Green Lake at 6pm on a work day. Anyone else feel like holding the torch for our cause? from: http://www.protesteasyguns.com Who are we...

    Tried plate shooting for the first time last night.

    imported post So, every Wednesday night at 7pm Wade's has a double-elimination plate shooting contest. I went down, at the prodding of a friend, for my first go at it last night. Holy hell is it hard! I guess, in my head, I had visions of plates the size of gongs at 10 paces. I was in for a...
