She is interested in doing a story about open carriers - specifically those who carry to city council meetings and other such events.

    Regarding the open carry ban in the Washington State Capital chambers.

    So, I read a really insightful and thought-provoking comment today, regarding firearms in the Washington State Capital chambers. Ironically, I read it in the pissed off moms against guns venue, but it still made a lot of sense. The politicians in our state have, thankfully, upheld our open carry...

    An impromptu interview at the I-594 Rally

    While at the I-594 rally, I ran into a friend of mine who does citizen journalism and eco-activism work. She wanted to do a quick interview regarding filming police. Some might question why this is posted in the Open Carry forum. It really has nothing to do with open carry, although I was open...

    A shout out to the LGBT community at the I-594 rally (Olympia, WA, 2014)

    I loved that Dillon White represented the LGBT community, at the F&CK I-594 rally today. I felt honored to disrespect an impotent law with a rainbow-bedazzled item. Thank you Dillon White for showing up. Thank you Dan Smith, for filming. Thank you Gavin Seim for putting it together...
