Here is the issue, most of the sheep do not know the law, the RCW's, the USC, they just watch tv shows and read the mainstream, liberal, biased newsmedia.

We know the law and keep up on the law and we know that brandishing is not what we are doing. Hopefully stories like this help to educate a few as to what are the specifics of the law.

"How am I to know if you are an angry nut job, a criminal or an actual superhero with a gun?"

what about the 'none of the above' category?

Dave, any word on Kirkpatrick's stance on 2A, OC, park gun ban if she get's the Seattle job?

The process really hasn't started yet and while she's said she will apply, she hasn't applied yet, far as I know.
I need to check with some sources in Spokane about her.

She was at Federal Way and I don't think she was our buddy

I just got this E-mail from the head of one of the VA programs here in Seattle.....



Jim,

Saw you on TV--you came across great. I suspect those who are opposed to "open carry" are very anxious liberals. Who you cant reason with--they fear guns. And some (too many) would ban guns totally.
Hopefully,our state laws --which for the most part--protect legal right to bear arms--will remain in effect.

They're right, Jim, you came out great. Good comments on the story too. Looks like the antis plan pretty much backfired. :celebrate On another note, I've only tried Starbucks with friends twice for personal reasons. I guess guess I'm going to have to sit down and think it out with a nice cup of coffee by my job. :cool:

Something I was thinking about yesterday.

Ever notice how us "extremists" treat businesses that don't care for guns.
we generally try to reason, educated other "extremists" that the business is not friendly (allow others to avoid hassle), spend our money elsewhere.


Instead the reasonable masses resort to name calling, false threats, and blowing it out of proportion.

It pretty well marks the difference between maturity and child like behavior. Some of us out-grow the sand box while others don't.
