Your idea is outrageous!
Great, thanks. I agree. Thus the almost guaranteed media attention and meme status.
So, who's side are you on?!?
I'm on my own side tyvm. And I am 100% not on the side of the TSA.

The best way to Openly Carry is to do so while going about your normal business.
In a Constitutional Republic, err, excuse me a 'democracy,' what is more normal than political activity?
Possibly, but that would drastically be open to interpretation.
If it's legal for 1 person to do it (walk near the security checkpoint while OCing), then logic stands to reason it is legal for 10 people to do it.
You can go into your bank while OCing. You can go into your bank with 10 friends who are all OCing. I serisouly doubt that to simply be present would meet any legal threshold of warrenting alarm. There would have to be something about your behavior or actions that manifest an intent to a reasonable person.
Could you be arrested? Yes. Could you be arrested anywhere in this state while OCing? Yes.

Article 1, Section 24
The right of the individual citizen to bear arms in defense of himself, or the state, shall not be impaired, but nothing in this section shall be construed as authorizing individuals or corporations to organize, maintain or employ an armed body of men.
Seems to me as if organizing an armed body of men for whatever purpose (e.g. protesting at TSA checkpoints, etc.) is thin ice and outside the protection of the state constitution. You may read that differently than I, but if your main goal is to put a group of armed individuals at a specific location, at a specific time, for a specific purpose, that may not be such a good idea.

DavePro2A-When I asked you whose side you were on, you gave a very telling answer. You said you were on your OWN SIDE. That should tell everyone on here quite a bit. You are obviously not on the side of OCDO; what you suggest with your little stunt would definitely hurt OC. I don't even think you are pro 2A. I think you came on here with your little hypothetical just to stir things up and see what kind of reaction you would get. You just wanted to yank our chains for your own amusement. I've given you all the time and energy to post that you are going to get from me. Go away and don't let the door hit you in the a$$!

So, who's side are you on?!? Your idea is outrageous! Most of us here on this forum are doing our best to PROTECT our rights and peacefully co-exist with those who disagree with us and here you are suggesting we do something not only outrageous, but probably illegal as well. That stunt would really impress the antis; hell, if we tried real hard we might even get the state legislature to ban OC! We are engaged in a war to retain the rights we have and to win Constitutional Carry for the state of Washington. We have been in the news several times this year. A wise person chooses the battles they fight if they want to win the war and they don't waste their time stirring up s**t that will be of no benefit.
Get a group of 20-30 people who buy tickets to a cheap destination. Then all show up to the airport at the same time open carrying holstered ak 47 pistols.
Don't forget to paint them orange.
My Father had a saying, that with a bit of editing, could be sound advice for all.
"There are two ways to kill a cat...beat it to death with a club, or, convince it that chloroform is a cure for fleas"
We need to convince the anati that chloroform is a cure for fleas.
The best way to Openly Carry is to do so while going about your normal business. Shop, run errands, have a meal, get a cup of coffee, meet with friends, etc. We will all know we "have arrived" when we do this and nobody notices or comments.
