    Arlington Fly-In at Arlington Airport banned OC/CC

    So, last year, I went to several days of the Arlington Fly-In (which is coming up July 10-12) and on the second day, was contacted by security and told I need to leave the firearm I was OCing in my vehicle in the parking lot. Before they escorted me back to the parking lot, I had a chance to...

    Not everyone sees your glock

    Was swinging into the wal-borg in yakima for some clays and shells and on the way out the checker guy goes, "Remington?" I looked at him thinking, "what the hell?" "Umm nope, a glock." He gave me a really puzzled look and then we parted. And then it finally hit me, he probably didnt even see the...

    Arlington fly-in BANS all weapons

    So I open carried all day yesterday at the Arlington fly in from 9am to 5:30pm. Not a single issue. This morning I was told by one of the volunteers that it was no weapons allowed. No rules posted at all though, except for a campring policy. So the security guy comes, shows me the camping...

    Ritzville open carry at Starbucks; best encounter yet

    After spending the weekend with the in-laws near Spokane, my wife and I headed back to the wetside this morning. We made it to Ritzville and the wifey decided that Starbucks sounded pretty good so we swung in for a quick stop. While we were walking in, I noticed a young man coming to the door...

    Huntin' fer Grizz' in the Granite Falls grocery store

    It's usually pretty quiet open carrying, but I got a good laugh today going into the IGA grocery store in Granite Falls. As I was just about to go through the sliding doors, I noticed a big old construction worker guy do a double-take on me. I could tell he was wanting to say something as he...

    I saw a unicorn in Bellingham!

    Not much to say about it but I just had to post about my first unicorn sighting. The guy was outside of Skylark's Cafe in Fairhaven (Bellingham, WA) OCing in a belt slide holster...maybe a Ruger or something...two-tone. I couldn't get outside to say hello to the fellow OCer, but it was cool...

    Rainbows, fairies, & glitter: talking to people at the B'ham Human Rights Film Fest Last night, I went conceal-carrying (would have been trespassed if I OCed...was OCing at heart) to a showing of "Enemies of the People", put on by the Bellingham Human Rights Film Festival, which is going on all...

    Tacoma to Bellingham or BUST - January 23, 2011

    Great turnout yesterday! Nice to see a few new members show up to the group. Got to shoot an awesome 1873 Winchester replica in 44-40 (love that caliber!) and a P3AT, which is probably a great pocket/BUG, except for the trigger reset which I'm not a fan of (same as the PF9). Thanks for letting...

    End of summer BBQ in the 'Ham

    So there still hasn't been a Bellingham meet in...well...I can't remember when. How 'bout a BBQ before the weather turns sour? Boulevard Park this weekend or next weekend? Maybe not this weekend since the weather doesn't look that great. As of now: Time: Sunday, Sept. 19th, 4pm Place: Maritime...

    30th Time's A Charm at Haggen's in Fairhaven

    So I stopped by the Haggen's in Fairhaven to get some items for making tacos tonight (mmm!) and as I was about halfway done with my shopping, a young man about my age (early-mid twenties) in a Haggen's uniform notifies me that it is against Haggen's policy to allow firearms in their store...

Didn't take her long to get over me getting a gun two years ago, but even six months ago she said she'd never carry. Anyhow, just...

Here's what was in the email: As someone that has debated Paul Helmke and the Brady group on national television, I am very pleased to report that I was wrong when I called them...
