The Lake Stevens LEO's are a fairly reasonable bunch. Gung Ho butwell trained. Take your "Information Packet" with you.

I run into them a lot at the range and find them to be pretty sharp on the law. Behave yourself and be polite if stopped. You should be fine.

Good luck man! Be confdent that will be your first line of defense. Act like you know what you are doing, and what you are doing is right.

If a cop stops you, well you've seen a lot of different ideas on how to deal with it. My suggestion, get it over with as quickly as possible and take the matter up with his/her superiors.

I don't think you will have any problems though. More and more the word is getting around.

Good luck and let us know how things go!

I officially busted my OC cheery today in lakewood. Went to the rite aid on bridgeport to get the wife some medicine ( the stuff behind the counter). No one said a word. Then it was off to 7-11 for a slushy. Walked by three employes strong sided and not a single word. I will admit I was nervous on the inside but don't think I showed it in my behavior. Thanks to all the great people that put their time and effort into helping others to do's and don'ts of OCing.

Sometimes the remarks about OC remind me of a 10 year-old boys talking about looking at the ladies underwear section of the Sears catalog.

I would say something in agreement, but I think that the genteel fellas who named my state had something besides new territory in mind.

(Thoselast four words wereunintentional, but I think I'll let themstand. :))

I think Sears quit with their catalog several years ago. :( Besides National Geographic was better. :)
