    Washington state CCW Info

    Open Carry WA is an open carry state, but I would not necessarily characterize it as an Open Carry Friendly State the way that opencarry.org does. I'd say we're a state in transition, and if you encounter an officer who observes you openly carrying, it's going to depend a lot upon the agency...

    First interstate concealed carry

    I used to live in NC, and so I know from experience they are goofy about placing a danged lot of silly restrictions on the carrying of concealed firearms. Application process wasn't entirely smooth and painless either. However, SC doesn't exactly have a short list of places where carry is...

    Is carrying dangerous?

    Certainly anything is possible, but I can honestly say I have NEVER heard of it happening, even once, that a private citizen carrying concealed was approached and disarmed by a would be assailant. Not to say it has not happened, if only once, just that it's an extremely unlikely scenario...

    Question from a disabled weapon carrier.

    Question from a disabled weapon carrier.

    Montezuma, There are a couple of suggestions I can make. First, I do share your concern that the law seems sufficiently vague as to make me question whether using your meds while carrying violates the law. I didn't see any opinions from the AG's office on the issue, and as a private citizen he...

    How far away is does a person have to be to be a threat?

    If I'm in my car, I don't see a guy with a knife as a lethal threat to me that I need to shoot. Now, if I'm in a convertible, top down or not, then he's a lethal threat. If I'm in my bulletproof taxi, then not even a guy with an Uzi can touch me. Of course, I can't shoot him either. In the...
