    Here's a twist on an OC encounter....

    I went to Les Schwab yesterday to get tires rotated. Don't really like to sit as there is too much activity behind me - I can't remain situationally aware if there is a lot going on I can't see. So I stood for a while in one corner. Wanted to see my rig and the goin's on, so ID'd a good spot...

    OC'd to the cop shop - encounter with citizen

    so, to start with the backstory- I needed to get printed for a VAF for NICS. Got an appointment with the local PD. Went down there, in my usual OC fashion. There's a citizen waiting there outside the (presumably) bullet-proof glass where the office gals work. I go up to the glass and announce I...

    SCSO breifly "detained" me

    I need to set the scene for this. I shoot at a pit behind a locked gate. It's only 100 yards or so to the pit, so I load up my wheelbarrow in the back of the p/u, and put all my "stuff" in there to go up the hill to shoot. I set up my bench, chrono, targets, etc and loaded to shoot some strings...

    An old friend comes home

    When my son returned from his hitch with the Navy, he didn't have a gun in his house. I set him up with one from my place so he would have SOMETHING, as he didn't settle in a very good neighborhood. (Are there "nice" neighborhoods anymore?) So time has passed and he has improved his home...

    Old school cool

    This is a 1903 Colt pocket pistol. I came by it when my FIL gave it to my wife. It seemed to make a good piece for her, as it is small, easy to conceal (she won't be OCing- leaves that to me) and of low recoil. It is .32 Auto caliber. She was all excited to have one "her size" to carry. She's...

    OC-M/C- good encounter!

    I had to run to Anacortes to get some beer-making yeast. Suited up with my new Redhawk on my right hip. It's weird for me as I am left-handed, but I don't have a left-handed holster right now so this weak side will have to do. On R Ave down by Safeway passed by a town LEO. I'm sure he saw my...

    New member of the family- Redhawk .45

    Tho I have used and carried semi-autos a lot more than wheelguns, I have always had an affinity for six-shooters. They feel good in my hand, they are less prone to stoppages, and best of all, you can load up some elephant stopping loads in the guns capable of handling high pressures. So I got...

    Well, I got shot today....

    OK, I overstated it. It was a ricochet. I've been stuck with a knife, shot at, but never hit with a bullet before. The circumstances: I was shooting the concealed bowling pin match, and a ricochet came all the way back from the target table and hit me right in the middle of the forehead. I was...

    Off to Starbucks for an OC

    imported post I'm gonna meet with a buddy for a planning meeting (nothing to do with OC, a M/C ride) but decided Starbucks would be a good place to meet as they support 2nd A and OC. Want to bet a dollar against a donut there will be nothing noteworthy re: OC to even note? Thanks to Starbucks...

    Good day at the Lynden gun show

    imported post I went up to Lynden to see what they might have to offer up there. I knew it is also the show in Pew-all-up, so that being a much larger venue might have drawn a lot of tables down there. There was plenty to look at, and it is brighter and nicer inside than my home turf, the...

    Uneventful OC

    imported post The wife wanted to hike around the new Skagit Valley WalMart. I needed a couple items so went along. Also wanted to exercise my RKBA. It always went well at the old WalMart, should be no problem. And it was no problem. I got the bug-eye from the usual gang-banger wanna-bes, but...

    "What's that for?"

    imported post To set the stage, I was hiking in the north fork of the Clearwater, ID area. My wife and I stopped at a popular hike to a waterfall. There were 8-10 bikes there, all cruisers, parked in a row like they all came together. I hiked in OC as always. Came upon the group of bikers. Said...

    Well it finally happened

    imported post Funny part is, it wasn't in WA, it was in ID I had walked into a Gas/food quick mart, and picked up a drink. My strong side was toward the checkout counter. The clerk noticed, but didn't say anything until I got to the front of the line. "Are you a cop?" she says. I am dressed in...
