Yesterday morning went in to Starbucks on Bakerview and Northewest I entered and several State Troopers were having their morning coffee at the table near the door. I have had friendly conversations with at least one of the Troopers so I smiled and waved to him and smiled and waved back.
I went to the counter and a new barista I haven't seen before smiles and asks "Are you under cover?"
I said chuckling a little "Oh no I'm not a cop".
Her "Oh Well I saw you were carrying a gun and waved to the officers and he waved back"
I then explained how open carry is legal in this state and how I have had nothing but pleasant encounters and respect to the way Their agency has dealt with this and with some personal issues. That they have always been above board and professional with me.
She was stoked and said I love hearing things like that. As I turned to go to the receiving end of the counter noticed another young trooper was standing behind me with a nice proud smile on his face.
