I was taking the 245 from theKirkland Transit Centertoday oc'ing with my glock, no one really noticed (perfect bus ride so far). Everything was normal, used a transfer, found a seat, listened to music on my blackberry, thought about what to eat for lunch, etc. got to my stop, thanked the bus driver, got off, put my headphones backin and started walking away toward home...
About 5 seconds later I hear a honk and turn toward the noise, the bus driver has followed me 20ft down the sidewalk and is opening his door...
-I think, "oh, great, here it comes, the flak I always hear about..."
"what is that you have?" pionting at my hip. I responded with mybest thought-throughresponse of "huh?
"what is that?" herepeated, motioningtoward me with his hand."A sidearm?"(I turn with raised eyebrows so he can see my profile)
"what is that? Is that real?" I knod. And add "...it's legal here in Washington State"
He shakes his head mouthing the words "no, no" and then turns away, closes the door and drives off...
Now, I assume that it is not thepolicy of King County Metro to have theirworkers harrass customers after they leave the bus as they walkaway, is it? I don't want to have problems with these drivers since I see them all the time. Seriously. Wasn't there an official notice that these drivers got some time ago?
Is there someone at King County Metro I can contact to make sure that I have documentation next time someone tries to deny me entrance to a bus based on the fact that I'm open-carrying?
