    Does anyone ever read this forum?

    Look at what Inslee & his ilk just passed regarding the disallowing of OCing at transit facilities, libraries.... The fight is far from over, even elected/appointed officials are disallowed to OC at their own meetings.

    Halloween carrying??

    The city's Trunk-or-treat went well. Several community members showed up to help in the festivities. Thanks to the crazy weather, I ended up wearing a jacket & cc'd for a majority of the time.

    Halloween carrying??

    I live in a small, farming community that enjoys hunting & fishing. Our local bar, which is owned by the city clerk/Treasurer, had a hunter's breakfast. The scaring of the parents would be more likely if I lived along the I-5 corridor in Western Washington. Living in Eastern Washington does...

    Halloween carrying??

    Since Halloween is under 48 hours away, was curious what everyone has planned regarding the evening's activities. I'm gonna be participating in my city's trunk-or-treat, handing out candy/goodies at city hall. My idea is to be costumed as a responsibly armed citizen.

    Is the police symbolic depiction of the American Flag incorporating a thin blue line a violation of law?

    Therein lies the question, of those who are burning the flag as "political speech", how many actually brought their own to do so??

    Government officials open carrying??

    At least I know I'm not the only one here in the forum. Up until recently, I've been a city council member, & until it got changed where OC was disallowed during city council meetings, I regularly OC'd. Reason for saying "Up until recently" is because our Mayor resigned, & as I was Mayor Pro...

    Is the police symbolic depiction of the American Flag incorporating a thin blue line a violation of law?

    There is a slight difference between "retiring the colors" by burning a torn/tattered flag, & just out right burning a flag.

    Eastern WA OC Report

    Took a trip to Union Gap yesterday to the Skechers Outlet Store to get some new work shoes. Had a few looks from other patrons. After getting shoes, went across the parking lot to Miner's to have lunch. While enjoying my meal, I noticed a few patrons looking my way.

    Courts, encounters with locking up pistols while visiting.

    I'm a frequent visitor to Franklin County Courthouse, cause of being on a couple of boards that meets there. On the sign-in/out sheet for the lockers I was only name listed 8 times in a row. Another reason for being a frequent visitor is cause of divorce proceedings, which were just finalized...

    Courts, encounters with locking up pistols while visiting.

    Had a bit of a negative experience this morning at Franklin County Courthouse. There were 2 deputies on duty at the security checkpoint (the female deputy knows me, the male deputy did not). As I was showing up when the jury pool was, I had to wait for the lockbox key. The male deputy handed...

    Disallowing of OC at city council meetings & city offices

    Learned something before city council the other day regarding the new regulation: for those that do open carry everywhere they go, how are they supposed to secure their firearm if they are walking?? Not every city council chambers has personnel available to secure firearms, nor are lockboxes...

    Other gun I normally carry was at home. I dislike the idea of them keeping the key.

    Only had a single sidearm, so it & accessories fit into one lockbox.

    Disallowing of OC at city council meetings & city offices

    The state is the one that made the legislation, so it's a statewide ban.
