I had a remarkable conversation with a gentleman at Kennewick Safeway this evening. Started off in line at the deli, just kinda talking back and forth. We got on the subject of age and I mentioned how my hand was bothering me and it was my shooting hand. He mentioned he is an instructer at http://www.practicaledgeshooting.com/default.htm, and they taught ambidextrous shooting skills. This is where the conversation turned, I told him if I learned to shoot left handed then I could both open carry and conceal carry a rig on each side. Oh boy did his demeanor change. He said that he was ex leo and that he strongly advised against it unless I wanted to go to jail for breaking the law openly carrying like the guy in prosser. I asked him why the guy was arrested for not breaking the law. He said the guy in prosser was arrested for some "in fear law" (but of course could not quote an RCW). He said that if a mother was shopping with her child and was in fear for her childs life because of my gun, she could have me arrested. He also said that if I didnt carry concealed that criminals know who has a gun and who to take out first, (same arguement - different day). He then told me if I walked down the sidewalk here in Kennewick to expect all kinds of officers to stop me. I could see he is one of those bull headed guys who thinks he knows everything and is always right, ( Cliff Claven syndrome). I told him to have a nice day and walked away. It's a shame people cant have a two sided conversation nowadays...
