We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Sound Transit Rules (Snohomish, King, and Pierce counties)
As things are starting to get settled with our new house and baby, I'm starting to look for ways to get involved again with advancing the cause here, like I did in Virginia.

Dick Saslaw Town Hall 1/17/2015 - OC allowed, for once
I just got an email with an invite to this event. The location is, for once, not carry restricted. I would make it myself, but I'm already committed to replacing a friend's alternator at 9:30am. If anyone else can make it, it would be great for Dick to see that some of us still believe in and... -

Is a flap holster OC?
My boss came over to my desk this morning to ask me some questions about what ID is needed for a FFL transfer. It seems that he finally decided to take the plunge and buy a handgun, and is getting ready to go pick it up from a local FFL. It's a nice looking Walther P1, and it is coming with... -

NoVa OC Picnic this Summer?
My wife and I enjoyed the picnic two years ago, but for a variety of reasons the idea didn't come up last year. Prime picnic season is still a couple months away, but I figured that it might be a good idea to start thinking about it now. Anyone else up for a picnic? There are a variety of... -
