Yes, you should just go ahead and get it, it is very easy.  Even if the only reason you use it happens to be when you are hunting/fishing, it is good just to have around if you ever have to pull up to a 711 in the middle of night in downtown Tacoma because your pickup is on empty. 

Thanks for the imput. Sounds like I should just get my concealed weapons permit. Anybody that has done that lately? how much does it cost? How long is the wait? Where do I apply?

FC, I don't need a tin hat and I'm not hiding in my basement. All I was saying that some legal eagle may make things interesting if you had to use your unlicensed but should be legal gun to protect yourself. Lots of prosecutors have their own ideas about what our state RCWs actually mean. Since it is easy to get a CPL in this state if your legal why take the chance? Now if any case about this RCW had been through the court system and the RCW had been upheld, then go for it. In the end it is each individuals choice.

I've seen this same argument so many times...

When you go fishing and the limit is two, do you only keep one just in case some game warden reads the regs differently than you? In a 4 point only area would you shoot a buck with 3 points + eyeguards on each side? The regs say that's a legal buck but you never know what some legal eagle will make of it...

Either know the laws and your rights and live within them or live your life in fear, always looking over your shoulder
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

FC, have it your way. You only know that anything that you don't agree with is wrong. Get angry if you want. Try to belittle me for saying something you don't like, I couldn't care less. My right to post on this forum as long as I stay within the rules, is the very same as yours. Have a good night

I'm absolutely not angry, I am a little depressed at the thought that so many Americans are ready and willing to get cornholed on their rights that they try and imagine new ways that it could happen and then act out these fantasies.

pretty much where I spend my life..... figuring I am obeying a law that has been changed or interpreted some other way thus rendering my belief I am within my rights now void....many days I feel like my existence has been stamped with a giant red VOID  :dunno: I decided it wasnt worth the bs of trying to figure out what is or isn't a legal and obvious outdoor activity and just got a cpl.... :dunno:

Well, I applied for my permit today.  :) Sounds like I would have been OK to carry while fishing/hunting, but now I'll be legal to pack any time I want. $52.50 and about two weeks out.

It's nice piece of mind and of course nice to be able to just walk in, buy a pistol and walk out with it.
