Some key points from the article:
1) Executive Director of Washington CeaseFire. "The question to ask is whether or not their fellow community members want them engaging in that behavior. They [open-carriers] may feel safe knowing how to handle a handgun. [But] a lot of people in the community see them carrying a gun and don't."
** No, it's not about whether the community members want them to engage in that behavior - imagine if such an argument were made about the exercise of a 1st Amendment right? It's not right for antis to spout off with proposals or arguments that are patently unconstitutional - the easy test being substitute "First Amendment", say it and see if it makes a person sound like a Nazi -
2) "Obviously someone carrying an open handgun in an urban environment is a concern to us. It is very unusual for us to find someone carrying open," says Sgt. John Urquhart, spokesperson for the King County Sheriff's Office. "Any call we get about a person carrying a handgun openly, deputies will contact that person and, depending on circumstances, may or may not take the gun away for safety reasons."
** IMHO, it should be like it is in South Dakota - it is not unusual at all for someone to be carrying openly even in an urban environment -
3) Next time I'm there, I'm OC eating at Dino's Greek and Italian Restaurant in Burien :celebrate
