Ok, to me this sounds like a bad incident waiting to happen. Phil, did you actually get the information on who these officers are?
I'm sending them an email as we speak, though again it's the end of the week. The problem is that the way these guys are chest thumping they WILL arrest people for open carry in Washington inside of Centralia. I sound like a whimp, but it may be best to hold off until we hit these guys with the actual training advisory. It sounds like they believe that they're under the old case and carry law. You see, Lewis County exempted themselves from Case and Carry, but Centralia probably did not. These guys are 11 years out of date on their legal knowledge and that's pretty dangerous. In fact, I'd say that they're at least 25 years out of date on their knowledge on loaded guns in cars.
Lonnie, I didnt get names, as i was just in a hurry to get the hell out of dodge, before they arrested me.
I agree it may be best to hold off. so as a last minute thing, i will propose a meet in olympia, instead.. this sunday. it makes it easier for the people wh are coming from tacoma,seattle to get there anyways.
I do however, understand that they are out of date, but i don't think emailing them, or even going back there will help. with the way these guy's handeled themselves they seem to be too set in their own ways. Nothing we say is going to make a difference..not on our behalfs anyways.
I only went there to see if there was ever a training bulliten to date, about OCing.. just as a little bit of re-con for what were up against this weekend, I did not however expect to be confronted the way i was, with the additude level i got,as well.
I understand that there are some places off limits to OC. but a city, or town in washington state is not one of them. I for one am completely done, If they want to be pricks about it.. let them be..they always win, anyways.
and in this case it's good guys VS. Good guys.. but they wear the badge. they in the end have the most amount of power, they don't seem to care about our rights.
