Greetings from the wetside of WA. I have been carrying concealed daily since the 70's when I first moved here. I have been an LEO since 1988 and carry when off duty and when travelling to other states for training and vacations. Why? Because there are bad people out there and I take it as my responsibilty to defend myself and am required to take action if I onview an in-progress felony within my jurisdiction. I support the right of law abiding citizens to carry concealed for the protection of themselves and their families. I also believe strongly that with this right comes equally important responsibilities. These require that people carrying concealed are safe, trained and abide by the laws of their states, cities and counties. I look forward to participating in this forum and having some fun. :smile:
