Open Carry
« on: December 09, 2015, 05:47:58 PM »
I can't find any info on a person older than 18 open carrying a rifle around town. What are your thoughts? Is it legal? Also, do you have to be over 21 to open carry a pistol?

Its legal, but youll attract attention younprorbably dont want. With a few exceptions you need to be 21 to carry a pistol in washington

Your number one best source for info on this question is here.

Even law enforcement is confused on Washington Carry Laws.

Why do you want to carry a rifle around town? Does it have a rabid coyote problem? :dunno:

You'll probably end up like the guy in SoCal with 33 shots fired at you.

Only if you are firing it randomly and fail to drop it when told to do so.   :bash:

My thoughts....

It is unnecessary and will bring nothing but negative attention to you and anyone else that supports the 2A.

I would ask this: Why do you want to?

If you need to walk across town with it, just put it in a case.  :dunno:

There are plenty of videos on YouTube which show what happens.  I always question why those people do that? 

Need of attention?
Bored?
Education of people and LEO's?

Or you happen to encounter a LEO that’s a bit jumpy –   :mgun:
