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.
The forum will be down for about an hour this weekend for maintenance. I apologize for the inconvenience.
The NRA has never been a big proponent of open carry (at least not publicly) but they are a proponent of concealed carry and gun rights in general. Something has bothered me in the last three years though. It started with the talk of I-594. I never expected it to pass and I certainly expected a...
I was thinking about this today and realized that it's important to me to spread the word and get others interested in carrying a firearm. To date I've convinced two people (my apartment building's maintenance man and a coworker) to get their CPL's. I especially consider my coworker a success...
Looks like so far there are 7 people shot but nobody killed thank goodness. The suspect is in custody. I wonder if he would have gotten that far if there was someone from this community on campus...

I say "discourages" because Chipotle won't come out and call it a ban. They do ask that people not open carry in their stores because "the display of firearms in our restaurants has now created an environment that is potentially intimidating or uncomfortable for many of our customers."
What...
Well folks I'm following suit and have started Every Town Facebook page for Washington State. I happen to despise Michael Bloomberg and everything he stands for. The page is dedicated to all things 2nd Amendment and you are welcome to express any anti Bloomberg sentiments you want. Please feel...
There are four such signs up at connected Cowen and Ravenna park in my neighborhood. One of the four has the "no firearms" part covered with white tape. Obviously someone is aware that the signs need to be changed. I just can't believe that nobody has said anything. I got the sign at Lime Kiln...
This is an article that posts a Q&A session between OCDOs very own John Pierce and Bloomberg writer Francis Wilkinson. I can't say that I care for Wilkinson's smart-assed tone and questions but John handled it very well. It makes me proud to be a part (even if only a small part) of this...
I have a question about RCW 9.41.050. I was looking over the OC pamphlet that's available here on the forums because I'm considering carrying a few copies with me. The language that I have a question about it this:
(b) Every licensee shall have his or her concealed pistol license in his or her...
Hey guys, did some hiking in the rain today and on the way out I noticed the park rules on the bulletin board. The sign clearly say "Unlawful to possess or discharge firearms". What do you think? Illegal? I think it is but I wanted your opinion first before I call and raise a stink about it.
The gun-grabbers are at it again, passing anything they can to try and chip away at the rights of gun owners.

Hey all! I was in the middle of that parade in downtown today (it was one block from my office) and saw someone open carrying. He definitely didn't look like a cop to me and I didn't see a uniform of any kind. I was conceal carrying because I was with some people from work and firearms are a no...

A few select quotes for your enjoyment:

Being shot does not make you an expert on gun control! I'm sorry, but I just do not understand what gives her the right to come and speak in our state about this.

I want to visit the Tulalip reservation so I can hit up Cabella's, the outlets, and maybe even do a little gambling. Does anyone know casino restrictions if they are on the Rez? What about just being on the Rez but not visiting the casino? Are there different laws?

This video comes to us from Monroe. I'm all for open carry but this guy has an agenda to get noticed. An AR on his back and two pistols holstered. It's not that he doesn't have the right to do it, but looking for confrontation is going overboard. The paranoia doesn't...
Hi guys so I've been researching this and can't seem to find an answer. I have been a resident of Washington State for about 2 1/2 months. I got my drivers license almost immediately when I first got here. I just recently got my CPL after a waiting period of 29 days. My question is do I need to...
Saw this sign at Ravenna Park which is close to where I live. It doesn't say firearms are prohibited but it does say weapons. I think maybe because it doesn't mention firearms specifically that it's fine. Weapons could be anything I suppose but I think they should specify what weapons or maybe...

This was a short read and pretty much echoed what a lot of people in here were saying. I know we already posted the news articles on the story but this is the first opinion piece I've seen.
