    On going Theme

    Machette Attack

    imported post I wanted to share this story with everyone. I know the young man was not old enough to carry a concealed pistol in the State of Washington, so thats not needed as a major discussion. However, I do feel that if at 18 years old a person can join the military, then at 18 years old...

    Next Generation

    imported post I do not worry so much about today or even the near future, say the next 10 to 20 years.

    carry badge?

    imported post In a recent conversation with my wife about my open carry preference, up until today has been never done, I wondered aloud about LEO's. I have seen several off duty LEO's open carry and right next to their firearm is a badge attached to the belt. I have seen badges that say...

    Washington Open Carry picnic / day

    imported post I am a Spokane resident and have been a non member of Opencarry.org forever. However, I have changed this as of today. I have my CPL and my routine for carrying is wonderfully embedded into my daily activities. I am saddened though at times. Recently I purchased a new handgun...
