Actually, hermannr means RCW 9.41, not 4.41. (I also think me meant to type "walk", but that wouldn't have gotten a chuckle...)
Maybe the latter was the reason he screwed up the former

i do train with handguns, i should have worded that differently, what i mean is when i can legally purchase my weapon of choice i want to get it new for myself. its just something i want to do
can you not purchase a handgun in WA at 18?
Could you tell I was typing in a hurry? Thanks, fixed
i am in full support believe me the day i turn 21 (just shy of 18 now) i will begin training with my weapon of choice, but thinking about this would police not think less threatened or agitated of an OCer if upon the first request of I.D. they were cooperated with?
if every OCer did this the police would begin to accept and respect our right to carry and therefore would give a friendly wave and be on there way? would they not?
also in public if an OCer cooperated with police and non carry citizens saw this would those citizens begin to understand why we do what we do?
i think non carriers see refusing to show I.D. as some sort of rebellious tactic and feel threatened by that
Here's the issue, 722wdblazer... someone calls the police because they see you are wearing a gun on your belt in a holster. Cop comes up to you and you fully cooperate with the police officer, offer your identification to the police officer so they can check you out. What have you accomplished? You have both supported and encouraged the idea that the mere act of lawfully carrying a firearm is worthy of suspicion and investigation by the police. If that is the image that you wish to encourage, go right ahead. Some of us choose to fight against the idea and image that the mere lawful possession of a firearm is worthy of suspicion and investigation.
Would you be OK with an officer investigating you because you were talking on a cell phone to make sure the cell phone was not stolen? Would you be OK with an officer investigating you because you were eating in McDonald's with children at your table to make sure you were not a kidnapper? Would you just "cooperate" with the officer enough times in those scenarios until the officer "came to know you" and he decided that you no longer required investigation? Why is your lawful possession of a firearm any different?
Last night,while I was at work,there was a incedent in the apartment complex were I live.Appreantly one of the tennants got drunk and was beating the living hell out of his wife.A friend of mine that lives next door was telling me about it,and he was wondering if you would be in your legal right to have pulled a handgun on him and stoped it.Here in idaho I think its on the edge of being legal or not.What do you guys think
enough so that they know im not a threat to society and im simply carrying that weapon to defend myself
Domestic situations can be very tricky. They can quickly turn from you saying he "was beating the living hell out of his wife" to HER saying 'we were arguing and this guy comes in waving a gun at us'.
