So today I took Everett transit downtown to grab some lunch, the bus was late ( as always ) and when it arrived I was greeted by a female driver possessing ruffly the appearance and disposition of a toad. I boarded the bus, paid my fare and greeted the driver with "How's it going today?" She simply stared at me and did not reply. I made my way back and as I took my seat I glanced back to the front to see the driver staring at me in the mirror. I gave her a bit of a smile and she, In a loud voice, demanded, "are you a sheriff?!?!!" "No," I replied, "Just a citizen." She stabbed her finger at the door and demanded "Get off"."Excused me?"was my reply to which she said"you cannot have a gun on the bus, get off" I got up from my seat and walked to the front of the bus staying behind the yellow line leaning over I said "I think you had better call your supervisor." With a huff she plucked the radiomic from the dash and radioed dispatch. She started the conversation with"Ihave a guy with a gun on the bus, what should I do about it" The reply "what, like a rifle or a handgun?" The bus driver, "its a handgun" Dispatch Is he carrying it in his hand?"Bus driver "It is in a holster" Dispatch "there is nothing wrong with that, it's not illegal" The look on the bus drivers puffy face was priceless, she refused to look at me but shut the door and started to pull away. I walked back to my seat, several peopleon the bus simply acted as though they hadn't seen any of what just happened, one lady gave me aexasperated smile rolling her eyes at the bus driver. As I sat down a man sitting across the isle said, "Be careful, your civil rights are showing." I spent the day walking around Everett I went to my bank to make a deposit, the tellers were friendly as always, and after I was done I took the bus back home. When I boarded the bus the driver did not say anything about my gun, I sat down and heard a hushed conversation several rows back. A guy was telling his friend "for all you know he is a security cop or a regular cop, I am not going to ask him because it is none of my freaking business." That ended their discussion on that topic and I got off at my stop. All together a good day It is obvious that a lot of the public knows carrying a gun is perfectly legal and contrary to what so many cops have tried to tell me people don't piss themselves every time they see a gun.
