OK with me, I recommend silence as a matter of fact so do thousands of lawyers nation wide.
Yep
I've even had a judges recommend that.

I have never had a problem, either...precisely because I know and exercise my rights.
How is "dumdass" (lol) to simply remain silent? If he had told the cop, "I have nothing to say to you, bye," you, no doubt, would be complaining that he was rude! The only response folks like you will accept is immediate, slavish obedience.
If you don't like it, stay. I find you amusing and entertaining.
You got that right. :lol:
What do you mean by what you said?This was handled like a true champ!!!?
It was rude and gives me a bad name as I open carry.Not talking is ok with you guys is nuts.
He wasn't rude, he does not give open carry a bad name. He simply, efficiently exercised the rights afforded to us by Providence, bound forever by our Founders in the Constitution and beloved by modern day patriots everywhere.
Yeah, what do I know, it's not like I've ever been detained, or cuffed, or arrested for open carry.
the four police that responded to the likely Man with a Gun is interesting, watch the very end, another officer walks by him a cruiser drives by and another is parked on a side street.
MIB - To be clear, i agree and concede on the presenting ID if not required to issue. I did it only because i'm not as sure of the law in Washington in regards to requirements to identify. Something i need to brush up on and will be sure to exercise my rights about the next time an incident happens. My issue was just with passing the Mil-ID versus, say, a DL...not with passing an ID at all.
Thanks to all for the info. Also, that copy of the training bulletin should be useful. I think i'll print out a copy of that, along with several of the open carry brochures to keep with me for times i am out and about. In fact, one would have come in handy just the other day at wal-mart when i was approached by an odd gentleman who was quite sure i was committing a crime by being in a store with a holstered pistol. Now i know
Have you been OC in Spokane long JM? I've been tO Wally world in the valley a lot without issues.... Havent been north or Scareway Heights OC though.. If we ever meet up I've got a good stack of OC handouts I got from GoGoDawgs when I was on the wet side a few months ago.
Approximately a year. I've never had issues with employees/management at any Wal-Mart, and that was the first time a shopper approached me in a negative manner. It was at the North one, the non-supercenter Wal-Mart. The man was an odd fellow... lol.
Yeah, handouts would be great in cases like that. Or, even better, for the "I didn't know you could do that..." instances. If i ever see you around, i'd be obliged for a few to take around. Until then, i'll print a few out at home.
Just sitting here thinking, how much training the dispatchers need. They could save everyone so much time and trouble.

OC at Lowe's in the Spokane Valley yesterday afternoon. Not a second look or a word from any of the employees. Got a startled look from one woman though. Just after that I went down a side aisle out of her sight. When I came back around into the main aisle I heard her say "There he is." Looked over my shoulder and saw her pointing me out to a couple of employees in the paint department. Kept on with my business and checked out without any issues with any of the employees. Guess she didn't get whatever reaction she was hoping for.
JM9584, did you ever contact the Sheriffs Office and explain your encounter and get a response from them? Just wanted to follow up since this thread has been pushed down a few pages.
