Federal Way Discount Guns, which I assume the poster meant, is NOT the same as Discount Gun Sales. Federal Way Gun Sales is a decent place, and their prices are reasonable.

Back on topic, I've only OCed a few places. A 7-11 on Bridgeport, and well that's about all I can think of. I'm sure I've printed and had the holster become visible, but I don't really care about that anymore. If it's seen it's seen.
I don't count work since it is a gunstore (that doesn't care if you OC as long as you don't just pull your out without saying anything) nor the business located next to us, since they are our landlords and know all of us.

First of all, put two and two together...I was at Southcenter...therefore it was Discount Guns of Southcenter.... I did not speak for there helpfulness or prices, as for those who have issues with things like that, I find that the more you stop in to a place and say hello and talk (what I call pre shopping) the more in the long run they will favor you. So Poo...just stop in and say hello, chat about something that you know and say thank you....this is great if you plan to buy in the future.

12/29 Albertsons on 99 in Federal Way. No issues.

12/29 Arco on Dashpoint near the Metropolitin Market. no issues

Let me see..........9am,OC family pancake house, then off to the credit union, then to the hardware store, McDonalds for a quick cup-o-jo, home, then back to Lowes, twice. Yesterday,Lowes, Fred Meyer, and then to Kmart and over to Office depot, and again to McD for my free coffee, then I forgot. The only negative thing said to me was at Office Depot. The mgr told me to behave myself and no discount. Oh, at Lowes, the gal clerk told me I still had to pay for my stuff. WAIT!! I stopped at my sister's house and 'popped' a wild cat for her. Took 2 shots! She asked me if I would get into trouble. WHAT? You called animal control, the cat attacks you and you need 2 stitches. And you ask if I'll get into trouble? She's a blond, so I guess that's all I need to say. So then I get home and decide to get the tractor. Left my 38 on the table. BIG mistake. I hear a little noise next to the tractor and a coyote is looking at me. Next thing, he's gone. I don't think he was trying to steal it or anything - his legs are too short to use the clutch.

Sat went to Harbor Frt. The salesman asked what I had. Told him a Taurus 9mm. He said kool. I told him I would have gotten a coyote but left my gun in the house. He asked , how do you fix them? Are they very good? I just told him they taste like chicken!:lol:
