    Open Carrier Arrested in Philly(?)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPStIKIQDtg Just ran across this in my internet travels. Guy seems to be minding his own business outside place of employment, ends up ticking off cop and winds up in handcuffs. Cop seems to feel only cops should openly carry firearms. This was posted yesterday...

    http://www.oregonlive.com/clackamascounty/index.ssf/2013/10/oregon_concealed_handgun_licen_2.html#incart_m-rpt-1 Perhaps a fair number of potential OCers amongst the new permit holders.

    OCer Spotted in Longview

    My girlfriend and her daughter were shopping at the Ross in Longview. I wasn't with them. When they came home, they told me they saw a young-ish guy OCing a "silvery" (stainless I assume) revolver of some sort. Curious if that was anyone on here. This was last Friday 9/27, around 5pm.

    Any local (Vancouver) Wal-Marts sell firearms?

    I'm looking to buy an AR - probably a Colt 6920 of some configuration. I hear on-line that WM has them at good prices, if you can find one at a local store. Are there any WM stores reasonably close to Vancouver that carry firearms? The closest one on Mill Plain/205 does not. Haven't checked...

    Vancouver Park Sign Nazi - me

    I'm starting to feel a park sign, Nazi-esque episode coming on. Over the long weekend, my GF and I went on a couple of walks in town. The first was on the Discovery Trail on the west side of I5 around SR 500. On entering the trail, we noticed signage stating firearms were prohibited. As we...

    Spokane Centennial Trail No Firearms

    I was up in Spokane for the weekend, stayed near the river downtown and had a chance to walk parts of the Centennial trail a few times. I noticed a sign near Mission indicating firearms were prohibited. I also see the same text on the web site for the Friends of the Centennial Trail...

    Girsan 1911

    Went to the range Saturday with my son. One of the guys next to us had a Girsan 1911. He let me shoot a mag through it. I've been thinking of getting some kind of 1911 for a long time, but the price of a Kimber cooled my jets. I don't *need* another pistol, but somehow feel this 1911-shaped...

    Vancouver PD Policies/procedures manual and training bulletins re: OC

    I was reading this thread: http://forum.opencarry.org/forums/showthread.php?98075-Bellingham-police-draw-down-on-Open-Carrier and got to wondering how to go about getting a current copy of VPD's policies/procedures manual and training bulletins with respect to OC. I want to understand what...

    Yet Another Cop Sexual Assault under color of authority

    While wasting time on youtube, I ran across this bit of horrifying citizen vs. police state interaction. In this case, the LEO is a court marshal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytUl2Ie4E8Y Talk about making one's blood boil. I hope she wins a large judgment.

    Holster for Sig 229

    I'm new to this OC concept and have yet to do it. I sometimes CC a Sig 229 in an OWB Ted Blocker holster with a thumb break. From what I've read on here, that holster is probably not sufficient to OC from a retention standpoint. True? I know it is a judgment call, but I'm interested in...

    S&W 637 and .38 Special +P Loads

    I have a S&W 637 J-frame and am trying to determine if .38 special +P loads are safe/recommended in my particular gun. According to S&W's website, +P loads are definitely OK in current production guns. Apparently there are "dash" models with -1 and -2 being +P acceptable. Googling around on...

    New Forum Member in Vancouver

    Hello everybody! I've been reading this forum for a while now and signed up. I didn't see a place to put introductions, so this looked like a reasonable home for my intro thread. I've lived in the PNW since the mid-90s -- a California transplant. Lived in the south Portland metro area for many...
