Regardless of what they state, think, say or guess at, they don't know crap about it. Washington is an Open Carry State, which is fact that anything they say won't change that.

I found the link to the Idaho Statesman easy enough.

I could not find a faulty map showing OC was banned in this state.

Washington is marked "anamolous" because of license carry in a vehicle, and because some law enforcement agencies still haven't quite figured out the full facts about the legality of OC.

The only thing labled a video has a totally screw link that doesn't work and never will as it is. So they can't get the link right or the content if there is any.

A computer whiz I'll never be, too old for one thing. I remember when my dad got one of the first pocket calculators that the phone company gave them. Big bucks and it added, subtracted, multiplied and divided and did square roots. Have been almost a week now getting the new desk top tower working and I still have another days worth of data to transfer from the old tower.

The word you're looking for is "RED" and WA is not colored red, even though the video makes it look that way. it's orange. Look closely at the color of Texas and at the color of WA... they're different; TX is a darker color, but only slightly. It's the quality of the video. She also said there were 6 (six) Red states... if we went by the logic that WA was red on that map, there'd be more like 15-20 states... not six.

Honestly, I'm kind of pissed at the decision by the admins to color us "anomolous", as we're one of the more "open" OC states in the nation, yet we're second to worst on their rating scale. (Note, this is not me being pissed at the admins, this is me being pissed at the specific decision)

It's not an OCDO map, and she said "opencarry.com" as opposed to "opencarry.org"

Idiot.

I give up. Play the video and listen to what she said about the colors on the map

You know I had a lot of respect for you up to the point where you are calling me a idiot because I do not have the computersmarts you have. I have enjoyed your posts and often saw you as a mediator. But you know this is exactly what the problem is on some of these posts. The intolerance of people for new comer's or folks who are not in your view up to your speed.

If there is a moderator out there just do us all a favor and delete this thread.

I am not interested in having it turn into another mud slinging match like some of the others.

Quit looking to be insulted. He was referring to her the reporter. She never said Washington was not an Open Carry State. Washington and Oregon are orange not RED.

I didn't call you an idiot. I called the so-called "reporter" an idiot. She has about as much journalism skill as my ingrown toenail.

Folks, ghosthunter knew it was in error, he put "mis-information about Washington" in the post's description. He didn't say the map was wrong, he was pointing out the voice over description on the news said RED = NO and he probably couldn't see the color on the screen image on the video.

Hang in there ghosthunter, we still love 'ya.

I did. However you will notice the sight is advertised everywhere as opencarry.org. It was only smart to register all the opencarry.whatever domains.

Officially this is OpenCarry.ORG not.COM. She should have been more accurate.

I thought the lack of state premption for carry period was the reason...

RCW 9.41.300;

(2) Cities, towns, counties, and other municipalities may enact laws and ordinances:

(a) Restricting the discharge of firearms in any portion of their respective jurisdictions where there is a reasonable likelihood that humans, domestic animals, or property will be jeopardized. Such laws and ordinances shall not abridge the right of the individual guaranteed by Article I, section 24 of the state Constitution to bear arms in defense of self or others; and

(b) Restricting the possession of firearms in any stadium or convention center, operated by a city, town, county, or other municipality, except that such restrictions shall not apply to:

(i) Any pistol in the possession of a person licensed under RCW 9.41.070 or exempt from the licensing requirement by RCW 9.41.060; or


Cities, towns, counties and other municipalities can resrict carry. Thus, not anyone can OC in these places, however for most of usour CPLs take care of this issue.

Anyone else notice how it looks as though she is startled by the inserted pistol pic that come up on screen in the still shot? I posted a pic not a playable link...
