Excerpt:

I just wanted to take a moment and express my thanks to the Spokane Police Department. I had an encounter with an officer at Riverfront Park yesterday (Thursday, July 5th) that was very encouraging. I was openly carrying my pistol while walking through the park with my wife and two young children. I walked past three uniformed bicycle officers by the carousel. They all saw that I was carrying and one of them made it a point to ride over to me and express his opinion. He said that if there were more people like me around, there would probably be a lot less crime. Then he said it was nice to see a citizen defending themselves. This was by far the best experience I've had while open carrying. He was extremely polite and professional, and it was nice to see some acknowledgement from a law enforcement officer that what I was doing was perfectly legal and that he would like to see more people doing it. I can only hope that if I have any more encounters with SPD that they will be even half as pleasant as this one. I thanked him, but he rode off before I could ask his name. I just wanted him to know that I am glad a man like him is serving my community. Alex Meyer

Very nice!

Awesome! Of course half the people reading it were probably like "what the hell is open carry?" lol

Well done Alex.

Orphan took my keyboard, I would like to write, Well done Alex.
Sounds like a good time to get a BBQ together.
