I live in West Seattle and have been OC since March havent had any problem with that until last week I was walking a couple of blocks down the road to Walgreens just to chat and get drinks when we crossed the intersection before the store a squad car pulled up to the light i didnt pay much mind and my brother and i continued into the store we spent some time inside and even talked to an employee about what he used to carry when leaving the store my brother and i found ourselfs looking at 3 squad cars parked in a half circle in close proximity around the parking lot 6 officers were spread out, they were calm but obviouslyreadyincase something happend one approached me and asked ifI lived in the area I told him i did he asked if I would be open carrying regularly or concealed I told him I do both he didnt ask for my CPL but he did write down my name and address saying it was so that if they were called by someone being concerned that someone(I) was carrying a gun in the open around the area they wouldnt have to bother coming by to check it themselves they were polite and quick to let my brother andI on our way, nowmy mother who is very adamit in gun rights is pushing thatI sue for bring stopped unlawfullyand for my name being unlawfully put ona list I see her point on this but the fact that they did not try to keep me from leaving kept the encounter quick and simple I dont see a point to going to an extreame like this as well I see that the police have more of a right to simply want to ask or be concerned considering the fact that they are large targets just look at the 5 officers being killed and many more being assulted in the last year here in western washington alone im simply wondering if there should really be any action taken on this, any suggestions or opinions will be greatly appreciated, thank you.
