I remember that story. I wouldn't go anywhere near granite falls unarmed....

Hey now, we're not all bad   

Last year I ran into a few shady types while out on Spring Bear hunt. They were in a vehicle on a gated road. I did feel very nervous then.

I'm not talking about the majority of fine upstanding granite falls citizens. I'm talking about the tweakers.

Monroe and sultan are worse. It's so bad I won't even hunt or fish there anymore because they will break into your rig when you get out of sight. Bottom line is take your gun everywhere. The woods, country and city all have predators of some sort. Is your family or life worth the chance? I know it's not so stay strapped and keep a level head.

The trail was closed, so how can you say he wasn't breaking any laws? Maybe that's why he was escorted off?

The trail was closed after he left the trailhead. Closed because of him/gun. He did nothing wrong and should file suite.
If you read all the way to the end you'd see where a guy tried starting a fire up there. Did the law do anything about that? Did they close the parking lot to stupid people so no one starts a forest fire?

One of the NEW Sheriffs I met, moved over here from Granite Falls. He said the tweakers, drugs and burglaries in the whole entire Granite Falls area is the worst he's ever seen it.
