    MWAG Call - Video

    Good vid, carrier knew his stuff. Cop eventually folded like a cheap suit. Anyone see this yet? Portland but not sure which state: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1fAu3uBUIM&feature=youtube_gdata_player

    Ohio - Cops Behaving Badly

    Even though this isn't OC I think we're all interested in a story like this. Evidently Ohio has a "notification law" (unlike WA) - anyway, you won't believe how LE reacted as this incident unfolded...

    National Geographic Show - Alaska State Patrol

    Anyone else catch this show recently? Similar to "Cops" a camera crew rides around with state troopers in Alaska. The episode I caught included a routine traffic stop during which a handgun was discovered in the vehicle. The upshot is, the trooper went absolutely nuts when he discovered there...

    Visiting Dams

    imported post Recently I visited one of the dams on the Columbia, it happened to be Bonneville. At the gate before driving up to the visitor center, the private security guard asked some questions, including "any firearms with you today?" I wasn't carrying and didn't have time to get into a...

    Visiting from WA

    imported post I do not have the OR equivalent of a WA CPL (CHL?). I will be staying in the Bend area for a few days soon. If I bring a handgun or two and a rifle or two and plan on shooting them, can you give me any tips on locations where I could do that, legalities to watch for, etc...

    Why Must 18 thru 20-year-olds Be Defenseless?

    imported post I think it's odd that in WA adults 18, 19, and 20 years of age are not allowed to carry. Of course there are exceptions, like within their abode and so forth, but I still disagree with the law that singles out the age group for no apparent reason. This reminds me of the "old...

    9.41.050 Vehicle Carry

    imported post Does 9.41.050 really prohibit loaded carry by CPL holder in a vehicle unless the pistol is "on the licensee's person"? (while the licensee is not away from the vehicle) So, in other words, if I'm a CPL holder traveling or otherwise in a vehicle with my loaded pistol, the pistol...

    9/12: Anyone Planning to OC at Protests?

    imported post Anyone planning to attend any of the various Tea Party, 9/12, Obamacare, ad nauseum protests? Anyone going to DC? I'm not going to DC but I'm thinking of going to Capitol in Olympia, where I've seen several "meetups" advertised for around noon-1pm...

    Anyone Catch "Washington's Most Wanted" Last Night?

    imported post It was on the Fox affiliate after the All-Star Game. They had a segment on how to handle a traffic stop if you're carrying in your car (w/CPL). The segment didn't mention OC, but I thought it was interesting how it explained what to do and what to expect. Inlcuded an Everett PD...

    Should I Buy a First Handgun Based on Ammo Availability?

    imported post I had been looking at 45 ACP caliber, but I'm worried I would never get to shoot it, due to the ammo problem. Should I buy 9 MM instead? I know there are many other considerations, but I'm also a realist. How much should the ammo situation weigh in?

    Slightly OT: Where to Shoot Air Pistol (Pierce County)

    imported post Curiously, within the city of Tacoma it's illegal to carry or shoot an air pistol, even on my own property. But I'm thinking it would be a good, inexpensive practice strategy (assuming I can shoot it someplace close by). Anyone know of a place in the county?

    WA/OR Differences

    imported post I'm a WA resident, new to both CC & OC, but I'm planning ahead (I will have my WA CPL soon). Anyway, since I go to OR several times a year, I started looking into law differences: I see that OR does not recognize the WA CPL. I also see that it's possible to get an OR "CHL"...
