Washington apparently allows permitless open carry. So, this new law would seemingly only affect open carry.

It includes exemptions for law enforcement, military activities, individuals with valid concealed pistol licenses, and certain ceremonial or permitted activities.

Bill banning guns in certain public spaces passes Washington senate

Going to pistol competitions where EVERYONE has a pistol OWB, I don't know if I'd even notice if someone had a pistol on their hip in a public location... 🤔 A weenie public with people "intimidated" by guns on LEOs needs to be changed. Maybe a LEO has so much other shit on their belt the duty rod is not noticed? 🤔

My FFL is a School Resource Officer but not a sheriff's deputy so no "uniform". We were talking about it and while he still wears a vest and pistol, they must be concealed... :rolleyes:
 
Reminder that all these laws would fall flat if cops weren't libtards.

Not most of the cops I've met. Most of the cops I've met are VERY pro-2A.

True some cops are cool. But of course cool cop or not they are the ones that are going to "come and take it". Don't forget that.

I'm truly and honestly not even the least bit worried about that ever happening. If for no other reason than it is literally logistically IMPOSSIBLE. But yeah... never going to happen on a national basis. And extremely unlikely in my state.

You're comparing us to two countries that have 20%, 12%, and 8% (respectively) of the population of the USA (where we have WAY more guns that people)??? They have no enumerated Right to Keep and Bear Arms (or any other rights, for that matter) and VERY few guns relative to the population. That's not to also mention the nature of those cultures, which are well-known to be passive and compliant.

Again.... here we have 343 million people with probably close to a billion guns (far more than the oft-reported 400 million). And we have about 720,000 police officers. There are approximately 142 million households in the USA. Gallup reports that 44% of homes have guns. I think that's likely low and perhaps way low.

Let's have some fun with numbers!​


So, 142 million homes. Let's say that only 50% actually own guns. That comes to 71 million households with guns. Many of them with more than one gun.

Let's also assume that the gun confiscation squads would have (at LEAST) 10 officers per squad. They're not going to send a lone officer, or even 2 or 3 officers, to a home to confiscate weapons, eh? It's potentially a dangerous operation, so they'll need overwhelming numbers and force to be on the safe side. And let's assume they could execute 6 confiscation visits per day (optimistic).

720,000 officers would make 72,000 squads, theoretically. Of course, this is making the impossible assumption that 100% (ALL) the officers would be on this mission and not conducting their normal daily law enforcement functions. So, let's then assume that they could allocate a GENEROUS 20% of the officers to this confiscation duty. Let's amend that to 14,400 confiscation squads.

So 14,400 squads X 6 raids per day = 86,400 raids per day.

74 million households divided by 86,400 raids per day = 856 days (2.35 years assuming 7 days / week) of confiscations to get to everyone.

Word would spread in just the first few days, and I'd expect a "pandemic" of "tragic boating accidents."

And I dare suggest that is a VERY "optimistic" set of calculations. I also dare suggest that there would be SIGNIFICANT shall we say "attrition" of those confiscation squads... 'cuz gun-owning Americans would be so cooperative! NOT! It will NOT be a "cake walk" in the American landscape.

Even assuming the improbable decimation of the Constitution.... It is a logistical impossibility to execute a nationwide confiscation.

That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it! ;)

So you're betting on the fact that the blue helmets being afraid of getting cheesed being the reason that they don't go full UK. However looking at states such as California/other libtard cities people are pretty quick to comply with whatever they are told. Which is quite a shame. But yeah you're right way more shit will have to go down for this to become a reality to worry about for the real American states.

Math doesn't lie, nor is it affected by emotional opinions.
 
I'm too lazy to go hunt for the story I wrote about the open carry guy at a suburban McDonald's on a Sunday morning when the place was full of women and little kids. He looked like he was nuts or lived under a bridge. I never took my eyes off him.

I've spent close to 20 years looking at people in a crowd to identify those who might be crazy, armed, and thus dangerous. It's not so much about who carries a gun. It's more about how they carry themselves. I don't advocate for civilian open carry in public places where there are children milling around. But I have to qualify that. It is certainly possible to carry a handgun OWB without trying to make public statement about having a tiny dick. In rural communities across the country you see people with handguns in holsters all the time. The bearer is not making a statement. It's simply convenient and more comfortable than IWB. And there's no reason to be concealed. The other side of that coin is the asshole who inappropriately wants people to know he's armed because scaring people gives him a hard on.

I couldn't help noticing this "tough guy" is wearing a mask (covid hysteria weenie). And it's a useless cloth mask that doesn't fit (doing absolutely nothing).

Looks like he's in a bakery or butcher shop. Ready to spring into action. :) Mental case.

This is the guy who at 14 got tossed out into the gym full of girls wearing only his jock strap. If I knew where this was and ran into him, I may not be able to resist the temptation to engage.

L3-4 retention holsters on those thigh rigs. Not on his belt. I confess it would be fun to take one of those guns off his hip from behind and stick it in his ear. Just to see the look on his face.

Imagine somebody calls 911 on this guy because they think he's a danger - and you are the cop.
