Wow. Hardly even feel the need to post anymore, it's so routine. Fred Meyer Bakerview, Bellingham Millwork Supply, Bellingham Grocery Outlet, Cash and Carry, Costcutter Blaine, Chevron in Blaine by Costcutter, Blaine library, Blaine True Value Hardware, Home Depot. Not OCing as much because of the weather so I usually have a coat on.
Lots of topics to address since I haven't been on for so long:
At the Chevron the fellow behind the counter asked what I was carrying, then was wondering how much my Ruger KP345 cost when I told him how much I liked it. Had a nice chat. Said he is thinking about getting a 45.
Sorry to hear about your trip to Canada. I go up a lot as I have family there and am always very careful to remove everything first. Not sure what they'd do to me since I am a dual citizen, they can't ban me from Canada. I find the easiest way to make sure my vehicle is sterile is to make sure I never just leave piles of stuff lying around. The gun, the magazines, the ammo, etc are always pretty neatly tucked into something I can grab out easily and will never roll under the seat or end up in the glovebox. Of course the other day I did tuck my Walther into the center console and then forget it was there for a few days. Good thing I never headed north.
I'm not a big fan of the LGOC thing. I understand they have no choice in CA but I don't see the defensive advantage to carrying a long gun. If someone attacks you there is no way that you are going to be able to get it into action and wield it successfully during a close in fight anyway. I suppose maybe a short barreled shotgun but I suspect that isn't what you are thinking. Not saying you shouldn't or can't, just not sure of the value.
Sorry I never make it to the coffee on Sunday. I work six days a week and just don't feel like getting up and driving all the way to Bellingham on my one day for slacking off around the house. Maybe one of these days if work slows down and I have some Saturdays off I'll do all my running around on Sunday instead and see you there.
