Hello, first, this is my first post, so allow me to introduce myself, my name is Justin, I am a member of the US Army, and an infantrymen (11bang bang...) I am stationed at Fort Lewis, (JBLM.) I have grown up around weapons, from rifles and shotguns, to different types of handguns, as my father, and (now late) uncle were both all for gun right's, we are originally from Florida, (a non-open carry state) but both of them have always had a ccp. I am currently living off exit
128 in Tacoma with my wife. I turn 21 in less than 2 months, my wife did not grow up around weapons, she is from
Boston, and living with me is the first time she has ever lived in a house with weapons.
In Florida, I own a Remington pump action 887 and a smith and wesson 659 semi auto 9mm.
Here in Washington I currently only own a maverick 88 home defense pump action shotgun, that I have been teaching my wife to shoot, and to use as a home defense option.
So, here is my question,
I know i have to be 21 before I apply for a carry permit, but I have been wanting to be able to carry for year's,
especially since i am an infantrymen, and my work IS firearm's, I have always felt that military should be able to carry before the age of 21 if they are active duty, but that has never happened, so, I was wondering, is it a good idea to Open carry here in WA without a ccp as a backup, or should I wait for my CCP?
Also, does anyone have any recommendations for decent 9mm concealable weapons? I was thinking about a Glock
G26 with peirson finger extensions, or a smaller keltec,
also, do you know of any place that has a decent military discount?
sorry for the long post, but let me know?
