And for my first post....
Anyway, here in Yakima County, or the East side of Washington State, for that matter, OC isn't a real big deal. However, I thought to get an official opinion.
So I wrote off a quick email to YCSO, and got a response the next day.
It was a pleasant surprise....
After the initial compulsory warning the people will eye with suspicion those carrying firearms openly (We're trying to change that!), OC is legal in Washington State. (I knew that...).
The patrol lieutenant also mentioned off limit areas, like courthouses and such, which I knew also... But he also mentioned that banks were off limits too. (Something I need to investigate further and get information together and possibly submit to him.)
However, the best part was that he mentioned that he was a "fan of legally armed citizens"... Win! And that we were much less likely to be victimized by "thugs"
Good to know that, although tempered with a bit of caution, the attitude towards OC is positive.
So come on over to Yakima County, and bring yer guns!
I'm sure some of you already know most of this info, but I just wanted to share my experience.
