Today I saw some Vancouver, BC Police at a rest stop near Castle Rock, WA towing police bikes for a event that I think is in Portland this weekend. I saw all 8 of the with Sigs on their hips, can they carry here?

So... they may lawfully carry and possess firearms in the US and specifically in Washington state... but we are not allowed the same in Canada? What bs is this!?
The USA is the land of the free. And Canada the home of the freeloader. :lol:
As I understand the law, anyone here legally can open carry just as if they were a citizen. While purchasing a firearm might be problematic, if they were to legally borrow one from a friend, the same open carry rules would apply.
