Well....I have had an interesting night. I was at the Bremerton ferry terminal waiting for the guy who was buying my car to get off the ferry. I was carrying my Colt 1911 in a Kramer red leather belt scabbard.I noticed a BPD officer shaddowing me on the other side of the glass doors next to the foot ramp. He snuck a fewglances at me for about five minutes until 5 of his buddies showed up.
Sgt. C- Is that a real gun?
Me- Yes
Sgt. C-Show me your license.
Me-What license?
Sgt. C-Your permit.
Me-My gun permit?
He then grabbed my arm, spun me around and put me into the wall with my arm pushed up my back. I asked him if I was being arrested and he said I was being detained. I asked what crime I was suspected of and he said "you are warranting alarm" That kinda stumped me because I couldn't site who it was that said that a gun in a holster does not warrant alarm. He took my Colt and handed it off to his buddy. They took me to the car, Mirandized me and started running my gun, my permit, my license and my mil id. They lectured me on "concealed means concealed" and that in this day in age you can't just walk around with your gun like that. Then Sgt. C said I was handcuffed because the terminal is private property (BS) and that I was not complying because he wanted to make sure I was 21. After 45 mins they release me while lecturing me some more and telling me not to come back or they would trespass me and that being in the military I should know better and he didn't understand my attitude. They are forwarding the report to the prosecutors office in the morning. I am trying to get the security tape from the WA state ferry for further reference.
