Kitsap County Open Carry Report

[psbart]

Had a very pleasant trip to Port Orchard Walmart tonight. Had all 3 kiddos with me. Littlest one in my ring sling nursing when we got to the register. The cashier says " I just have to tell you, it is so awesome seeing you wearing your baby and packing a gun. That is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time. You are my new hero" We chatted a bit about open carry and reasons to get a CPL and I gave her one of the fliers I always carry in my purse

Been said before, but worth repeating:

Women OCing are golden to the cause. Women with children OCing goes platinum.

You have taken the standard to a new level by OCing with a baby in arms (pun intended)

Thank you for being so very responsible - not only in what you do, but how you do it - educating the public by your example and actions.

Not a knock, just a observation.

I wonder if there were more folks "offended" about you nursing in public, if they noticed, than the gun on your hip, if they noticed. It seems that Mothers doing motherly things is more "offensive" in our puritan society these days.

I've noticed. I've had as many comments/requests about either covering up or going elsewhere with a nursing baby this last year than I have about my firearm in the 3 years I have been OC'ing. Matter of fact, some local moms and I are doing a "nurse in" at the local St Vincent as one of their ignorant staff asked me to cover up the nursing baby just this last Tuesday.

+1 On all accounts. People who are freaked out about nursing moms have some severe mental issues.

*cough Lars Larson *cough

feeding a baby is about as natural an action as there is, it bothers me that anyone would find it offensive in any context.......

OMG! Put the breasts back in their holster, and stop brandishing them!

We need reasonable breast control, no one should possess such a device without a background check, and they should only be carried concealed

 

[Freedom1Man]

Wow, that is about the gayest statement that I have heard a male make..... . It would be pretty cool to counter MDA by starting an initiative that would require a background check and permit to conceal breasts, though!

Replace "guns" with "breasts" in most laws and submit the law for a vote.

Sheriff's Deputies Openly Oppose Hauge’s Re-election

The Kitsap County Prosecutor election is going to be hot!



http://tinyurl.com/ntl6ryv

Of the four candidates, Bruce Danielson has attended several of our Kitsap County OCDO picnics, and he is a stand-up guy. We need to get rid of Hauge, and I strongly endorse Bruce Danielson!

Are you surprise at this?

On another thread, SnarlyWino suggested that those of us who have not been active on this site for awhile, post on our local threads about how routine OC is in our area. It is so routine for me here in Kitsap County that I simply have not posted, because it is so uneventful. I open carry all day, everywhere I go, except the post office (obviously). If anyone would like to join me on a walk, anywhere in Kitsap county, let me know. I will buy the coffee!

It is good to see this site may be coming back to its roots. I was beginning to think this site had degenerated into another political opinion blow off. I was ready to move on.
I have not seen many open carry stories sense the last election and then every thing here diverged to "OH MY GOD, I594 PASSED AND WE ARE SCREWED!"

Perhaps we can get back to the original purpose. It is called Open Carry.org after all. Not How do I carry in a backpack, or Why is my apartment doing about renter firearms etc.

I have not posted about my OC experience as I get cold with out a coat below 65*. Now that the weather is warming hopefully we'll see more site pertinent comments.

You know, the snide apartment related comment is not appreciated. That whole thing started because I OPEN CARRIED.

Gentlemen, if you please - we are on the same team. Anything we do while OCing is pertinent. It's not just a Wally World walk thing. It is about were we live too.

Do it, post it - even if non-eventful as it shows the color and texture of what we do.......normalizing OC and responsibly taking care.

I could not report my OC even if I did. I have a court order forbidding me from OC. CC is fine so long as I have my CPL.

That Judge Bonner is a piece of... work.

No intent to slight anyone that cannot OC. CCers and noCers are always welcome here - point though is to not oppose legal OC.

Neither expecting nor wanting to discuss your situation here, I would be most interested in knowing the particulars and what might be done to correct that if you care to share that sometime.

Not to threadjack, but how the hell can that be a valid order?

I could see a judge ordering someone to give up a CPL, but how the hell can you be able to carry with a CPL but not openly without, when the latter is because of a constitutional right?

I hope you're appealing!

There is a thread about it, Washington State Convention Center.
It is being appealed but according to an attorney the Judge is very anti-gun and put words into the law that were simply not there.

Breakfast with my bride at Uncle Dave's in Post Orchard. Then went to Cash and Carry in Bremerton. Nothing unusual, as usual.

Central Dock @ the Port Orchard Public Market

I have been enjoying the company of the staff at the central Dock while I have my evening coffee great staff. I went into Dave's Loan and guns today and they told me that their new policy is no one who open carries can handle any guns so I told them they lost a sale and a customer . What kind of horse **** policy is that?
