We get active in Washington too (http://www.khq.com/global/video/flash/popupplayer.asp?ClipID1=5001716&h1=Open%20Gun%20Law%20Picnic&vt1=v&at1=News&d1=101066&LaunchPageAdTag=Homepage&activePane=info&rnd=43473092)! :D
(why do the cameras always focus on my butt (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_WTh4CFuzg)? :-[
VERY GOOD!
One by one, we're taking our rights back!
Very nice!
Now comes the fun part. :)
Very shortly I'll be heading off to the local Sheriff's Dept./County Jail downtown to renew my CPL. The door is posted w/ a no firearms sign, but state law (http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=9.41.290)prohibits such restrictions in "common areas of egress or ingress open to the general public (http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=9.41.300)".
The counter where CPL business is conducted is a mere 20 feet or so from the front door with a bunch of plastic seats (read: Waiting Area) between that distance and off to the side. Since there are no Metal detectors in that space, if that's not a common area of egress or ingress open to the general public i don't know what is! ;)
Oboy. Be careful. Bring witnesses.
Here in NM, we recently passed law allowing ccw carry into convenience stores that sell beer / wine. Many of these establishments still have the signs up proclaiming the old restrictions.
I video taped a VCDL meeting last week. It was a fairly good meeting and the Costco shooting was discussed as well as the 911 call for the incident.
The Video is too large to put online but I also did a separate audio recording. I compressed it to MP4 and put it up to listen to or download.
It was during a terrible thunderstorm so those aren't gunshots. ;D
