I was quite active in washington state until I could no longer stand it. I now live in Montana in a very small Town in the rocky Mountains. I routinely open carry to the point that some call me "John 45". I now sit on the Philipsburg Town Council and I open carry during any meetings and Town business. Permits are not required for open or concealed carry as a rule.
