To give credit where credit is due, this acceptance we're seeing around this area is due mostly to DEROS72 and his almost daily walks to the Starbucks at Safeway. He's the one who has desensitized the people around here about open carry. He lived here for over a year before I moved into the same apartment complex and carries everywhere he goes. People have just gotten used to seeing him out and about, .45 strapped to his belt, every day.
That being said, the thing I like most about what's happening around here is that people have told both of us, together and individually, that they feel safer when we're around. The manager here made a special deal on the rent , and expedited things for me when I moved in, KNOWING that I OC. You should have seen her grin when I first told her I was interested. Also, some of my new neighbors actually THANKED me for moving in here.

So SeaTac area finding out the wild west style of carrying works after all.
This should be a lesson for all open carriers....Deros, Manu, and Bookman have gotten alot of respect from a Large store like Safeway , who helped sponsor the last couple of SeaTac meets and their community. A large part is because of the manner and demeanor they have for themselves. I want to thank you guys for what you are doing and keep up the fine fight.
