My name is Jim and am new to this forum . A little about me;I am a Vietnam vet an artist and work with veteran affairs partime.I have worked with Congressman Reichert on a couple of occasions.I am indeed impressed by the quality of people and posts on thes threads and also the information .First a coupleof things made me real nervous ,the someone decribed about a LEO coming to his door and asking for ID and what weapon he owned.Thit is most assuredly crossing the line.I do agree with Morris's post regarding attitudes on both sides .I believe that one should be presentable and professional and courtious when confronted.This will go alot farther in my mind in advancing the OC aganda.That is not to say I advocate folding like a lawn chair whenLeo crosses the line.I.E Iwas in the safeway this morning at the starbucks on 116th and international reading a paper and having a coffee.I became warm in there so I removed my sport coat(guys that run around dressed like a gang banger with a pistol in the front of his pants will warrant attention)I was crrying my Para companion C7.45 single stack LDA in a colt holster with 2 spare magazines on the weak side.I was talking with the manager at the time and there were others there.Didn't get a glance or a question ,nothing.When A Seatac LEO walked by he looked and asked what I carried I told him and his response was "cool well have a good day"Any way My CPL is only a month old and the ink is wearing off already.I scanned it when I got and carrya more legible copy with.Is a copy acceptable when asked??Also any meeting or anyone live in the Seatac Desmoines area.Love to get together for coffee and get involved with assiting in promoting the cause.As I saw one fellow write "a right not excersised is a right lost".My art site if anyone wants to look is http://burtb71.photos.military.com/gallery/2326648/2/207074259/Medium
