Hello all,
I'm moving to Washingon from the all-too-restrictive policies of California, to start my post collegiate life at Microsoft. Come August, I will be a full time resident in the Bellevue/Redmond/Kirkland area, and would like to begin the practice of both open and concealed carry, as the situation warrants. While I'm unsure of Microsoft's internal policies, I'll likely be concealed while there, and open elsewhere. Currently, I have a Springfield Arms XD 9mm, though I'll need to get something smaller for concealed carry (well, unless I want to go with the crotch holster from smart carry ). Any preferences among board members?
A few questions: what is the general advice for open/concealed carry in bars? I know that RCW 9.41.300 prohibits carry in any place where those under the age of 21 are barred by the state liquor board. However, I have a real problem with this if I'm being designated driver (and no problem when I'm drinking - I'm not stupid). Plans of action?
Further, what holster would you all recommend for a first time OCer? Any particular belt/attire/etc?
Anyway, I hope to contribute to this comunity in the future as I'm able, but here's my "hello."
*edit now that I've started work* MS policy is "no firearms" - so no carry here at all. Sigh, hopefully this can be changed, maybe not today or tomorrow, but sometime.
