Got here last monday for work, I'll be in WA till the 19th. I've been open carrying everywhere I can and so far have had nothing but good trips. I wasn't able to get down to the silverdale sheriff office until yesterday cause of schedule. There was a deputy at the counter who said she wasn't normally at that office. I got all the paperwork done but she kept telling me that they have 60 days to get it to me and they would mail it to me in VA. I finally got her to put a note on the application saying to call me if they're done before the 18th and I'll come pick it up. Hopefully early next week the regular person will be back and be able to process it.
So I've been having to unload and reload Everytime I get in the car, but it's not that bad.
Recap of last week open carry.
Monday: Carried to El Azteca in silverdale, no issues.
Tuesday: Applebees, tjmax, best buy, Safeway all in silverdale. Not even a look anywhere. The hostess at applebees wanted to seat us in the bar, had to tell him I was carrying. He didn't even notice.
Wednesday: Wife wanted to go to the kitsap mall, so I had to leave it in the car. Saw they aren't friendly on the list. After that we went and ate at the Fujiyama steakhouse there where I open carried. Even at a table with multiple people, got a couple looks but noone said anything. Really good food there and the hostess was extremely nice to us.
Thursday: Back to applebees where the waitress recognized us from the other night. Very friendly and welcoming. I'd say they are very gun friendly after two experiances there.
Friday: Off work for the weekend so we came back to everett to our house. Carried at La Hacienda in Everett with no issues. Then we took a trip to the outlet mall in marysville. Spent some time there shopping, great place with just a couple looks. I decided to stop at that walmart right there too just to see if this ammo at walmart thing I read was a myth. In VA the .45acp is bought as soon as they get it in. They had a 250ct box of remmington .45 for only $80!! I was :celebrate :celebrate
Older lady at the counter was nice, I picked up the box and continued to shop for a little while. Had some teenage kids pass me and tell his friend, "look, that guy has a gun!," but no one else seemed to mind. I even walked right in front of one of the reservation police and he didn't say anything. I was a little worried about them at first since I'm not used to how Indian reservations work.
Today: gonna go downtown Seattle for the day and spend the night. Won't be able to carry everywhere since I want to have a drink at Fado and Rock Bottom, so itll have to stay in the hotel for that. I'll come back with how it turns out. Hopefully no issues with SPD.
Overall, very good carry State so far. Aside from the unload/reload in car until I get that cpl back. I feel just as comfortable as back home in VA here.
