havent posted here in a few days, however I feel I have calmed down enough to finally post this encounter I had:
I OC'd into Rainier Arms off of Bridgeport in Lakewood. The (owner I guess) was busy with two people in front of me so I looked around the (tiny) store and waited till he was available as I wanted to specially request a few items that are EXTREMELY RARE to find, but important for my G.O.O.D kit.
After he became available I asked him about the items I needed and he looked them up on his distributor network and told me they averaged about 60$ each. I needed 4 of them.
As he was taking my info down for the special order he began to inform me that OC was illegal in WA state unless someone had a specific reason for it such as hunting or fishing. I proceeded to tell him that first and foremost self defense is the MOST legitimate reason to carry a handgun and that secondly that part of the law, .060 applied only to loaded carry inside a car without a CPL. He argued some more (this is the point that I wished I had some fliers but SOMEONE still has mine in their car.....) He also told me that ANYONE who OC's will get their gun taken away and NEVER get it back....per state law....Anyways, long story short after a while of this back and forth he informed me "I have been in this business for 18+ years, I know the law. I know that Open Carriage(sic) is illegal in Washington State unless you have a legitimate reason." At this point the phone rang and I walked out of his store.
I know Goose and Paddy went back in there later, however I PERSONALLY would HIGHLY reccommend not shopping there.
I know, stop ruining your secrets ....
