I know, some people complain when we post up days with no confrontations, as though we are pointing out the abnormality of OC, but I think it helps me, even a couple years later, to read the occasional positive story.
So, here goes. Friday, day off thanks to state budget cuts at our school district. Yay! Off I go. Stop at Wings, a local motorcycle parts shop to BS for a bit with the owner. Chat with a fellow who apparently works for the city of Bellingham in some sort of criminal justice capacity. We chat about SVGs experience, of which he has heard. He and I seem to disagree on whether SVG should have been detained at the police station when he showed up to file a complaint, but he was astounded to learn that they never did let him file a complaint, and that they kept him in cuffs even after he expressed a desire to leave. He hadn't heard that part of the story. I gave him a flyer even though he said he already knew what the laws were.
Up to WalMart. Tshirt and jeans, no jacket or shirt so I am carrying my 45 pretty exposed in a Fobus retention holster. No problems at all, even spoke to two employees while trying to find the stuff I needed. Cashed out and left.
Over to Best Buy. Looking for a case for my BB Tour. Chatted with a girl working the cell phone accessory area to find out that they didn't have what I needed.
Off to the mall. Nope. Didn't do it. They have a posted "No Firearms" policy. Since I had no way to conceal, I left it in the truck and ran in to do my errands.
All in all, a good day.
