Hey fellow gun owners from Washington. I've been lurking here on the message board for a couple of weeks now and have found it really interesting. I actually found it while typing in "Open carry stories" in a google search..
Anyway, just wanted to say that my family and I had gone camping out at Kanaskat Palmer State Park in Ravensdale last weekend, and I brought my pistol with me. I usually carry it concealed unless I'm out camping, hiking, or doing other outdoor recreational activities. I hiked on their trail with my 5 year old son and my wife, and the place was absolutely amazing. The weather was great, they have an awesome river, and their rangers are exceptionally cool.
On our hike back to our camp site, I was greeted by a ranger who complimented me on my .357, and went on to say how that's his favorite pistol to take down to the range. Him and I actually talked guns and shooting for a good 10-15 minutes or so. He introduced himself, but his name slipped my mind about two minutes after he told me.
Just thought I'd share a story of open carry in a state park!
