OC News story, Kiro7 at 8pm 10/2/10

Ruby you did great, and it was very nice to Finally meet you.

Thank you all for your praise and encouragement. I am proud to call you all my friends!

The KIRO 7 coverage was quite a lot more slanted against the gun owners as opposed to the balanced report from KING 5.

How in the h**l does law enforcement get away with ignoring the law and doing what they please?!? I don't understand this mind set.

Very simply: The cost of a lawsuit to the "civilian," and the chance of losing it, are the key that allows them to get away with it. Very, very few will take that big step and go after them.

That plus the fact that the officers themselves seldom get into serious trouble for hassling the peons makes it a really good bet for them. In the extremely rare cases where someone pays it's usually NOT the LEO, but their employer.

Oh! And don't forget that the entire force will back them up...

I dont know wh has gotten into the people on this forum recently but some people have apparently lost heir friggin minds!

There is no way this side of hell that king5 was even CLOSE to balanced....

Ani, it was a pleasure to meet you and you did great with your first OC experience. You seemed very comfortable and natural. I think Goose said this was your first OC; please correct me if I am wrong. I just have to let you know that I love your avatar; that is one of the cutest cat pictures I have ever seen. Clearly, that cat is in control!

So, do we have a link to the kiro7 video yet?

+10,000 Ruby, Good meeting you, and everyone else. I dont think you have anything to worry about with you customers, in fact I would think they would think better of you for supporting our laws and being so professional on camera. "You're a natural", "you got the right stuff, kid", "Your gonna go place's"....

Great media coverage, but pi$$ poor reporting. All this time I have been walking around open carry unlicensed. Anyone know where I can get an Open Carry license?

Brady: Give me 65$ and I will make sure you get your license for Open Carrying. 100% legal in WA state, amongst a few others that I will disclose when you pay for your license....

Lamination sold seperately, batteries not included

The King5 6:30 video was an excellent piece too bad they are not using it on the website.

I'll try to figure out how to download it from the DVR.

I went there to give whatever support I could because what they did to Tom was so wrong. My biggest concern was what my customers would think. I got an email from one and all she said was that I looked pretty in pink! I thanked her and told her that sometimes you just have to take a stand when something isn't right. Talk about coming out of the closet, Gogo. I guess I came out in a big way today!

Ruby, You did great, they surprised my wife and interviewed her, just as her meds were kicking in that she takes for her neck surgery. Kiro interviewed her, and I think she was too doped up for them to run it, to much editing trying to make her sound normal. I was rolling. She blanked trying to think of the word "rights" I was pointing right, shaking my right hand, and finally said rights and she came back to earth and said it. I wish I had a copy just cause it is funny and I love her. She tried and means well, God bless her heart.

BUT WAIT, There's more! Call now and we'll double the order. Just pay seperate processing! We're CRAZY, we're GIVING it away!

Great turnout everybody!

I hadn't posted because I didn't know if I was going. I made it out and like Ruby, I couldn't turn down the camera. It was my first interview also. The guys abandoned me though. I hope I wasn't too big of a fool. I didn't get to see the coverage, but the online story wasn't too bad. Could have had some tweeks, but it could have been worse. I really enjoyed speaking with all of you that showed up.

Favorite part of the King5 broadcast: Tom is walking into the store and says "hey squeak"

Nice to meet you also Snappy! Hope to see you in the future.

Seattleguns.net has a thread going on the incident

Everyone interviewed did splendidly.

I was a bit surprised by the tone of Troyer's statement; he's a good guy, but the remarks struck me as a bit off the wall.

But hopefully, y'all understand that South Sound law enforcement is a bit skittish since the Lakewood and P.C. cop killings. And just another incident up in Mason Co. (even though it was another felon involved) that'll only serve to make your local LEOs even more careful.

It is good that the local media is paying attention to this subject; hopefully, future coverage will be more balanced.
