Spent all day in Snohomish OC'ing while entered in the Chamber of Commerce Car show. Got an occasional look and a couple thanks for open carrying, otherwise nobody cared.

My dad was showing his car there. '67 el camino.

Started open carrying for the first time recently, mostly due to new job attire extremely limiting my concealment options. Have gone to Safeway, Target, Fred Meyer and a few other small places around North Lynnwood without any problems yet.

At Alderwood Mall recently. Noticed their no gun sign. Placed at foot level, in the middle of the relights, not the doors. Hardly a conspicuous location. Then looking at it, it doesn't say anything, just a gun with a red no symbol.

How are we to know it's a mall-endorsed sticker? There's no ID, company policy, or anything that would lead anyone to believe it is nothing more than a randomly placed sticker.

Maybe *cough* someone *cough* should measure it sometime and order some no smoking or no crying stickers to place over it.

OC report for 4/21

Took the Smith 19-4 out and drove to Snohomish to pick up a friend. Then we drove up to Cabela's and bought some Cinnamon glazed nuts and looked at reloading supplies. Afterward we hit Jack in the Box in Snohomish and proceeded back to his house for a reloading session.

Praise for Midsouth Shooters.

I have to praise Midsouth Shooters supply today. Two years ago I put in an order for 16 lbs of powder. It ended up being backordered. ( back when they still accepted backorders…….)

Today, nearly two years later, it showed up on my doorstep! I am amazed they kept my order/info in the system that long and made good on it. Kudo's to them.

Today OC'd to Chase Bank, then my dry cleaners, then to Papa Murphy's for Pizza. A young gentleman whose head was just about even with my gun, started pointing and telling his little brother. Mom smiled and nothing was said.

Another normal day of no consequence OC'ing.

A tad late on this report, but I'm just human, so sue me. :p

OC Report 21/5/14:

Strapped on the Smith and headed into Snohomish to pick up a fellow carrier for some an important trip into Seattle (yes, I hate Seattle in case you wanted to know). Then after milling around "Precise Shooter" we mozy'd into Beth's Cafe for chow. After demolishing our plates we headed south into the Lion's Den, Downtown! Traffic was a real pain so we hid in Outdoor Emporium until the hordes thinned out. Then back up to Snohomish we went. Oh and we saw Avengers II but I thought is was just ok.

I hope not. Hopefully someone who read this may know but I have a CPL and my handgun was bought new plus I have had no negative contact with the police so I cannot see why I got delayed.

Sometimes delays are due to
1. a common name,
2. having a security clearance,
3. or just luck of the draw.

1. I have an "uncommon" name, but I share it with a union thug in penna.............delayed
2. Carried a TS-BI for many, many years while in service...........delayed
3. Luck of the draw.....yeah, like catching EVERY urinalisis for thirty years (random check my @ss).......delayed

I have been told by batf that a UPIN would help almost everybody............except me. I always call when denied, and I will call again

I was wrongly denied once, it took a lawyer and 18 months to clear it up and obtain a UPIN. I was informed that my Washington CPL was still good by the county sheriff office and that they did not care about the denial on my purchase. NICS informed me that I was allowed to own firearms, possess firearms, and carry a firearm, I just wasn't allowed to buy firearms anymore until my denial was removed. Makes no sense what so ever, but that's the Government for you.

Had a great day a couple of days ago, which is the norm now. No news is the standard OC day.

Went to Home Depot to do a return, hit the Burger King for a quick bite to eat, back to Chase Bank for business, Safeway for groceries. Then to Ace Hardware for propane and fertilizer, and the strip mall mart for some beer.

Nary a glance/comment the whole day. This is as it should be, and it is due to this forum and the efforts put forth by so many individuals from this fine group.

Best Regards.
