Morning/Afternoon Raz.
I was thinking about you this morning, ordered a Front Line IWB for my big-azz 10mm Glock. With what ISIS brought to Paris i might start packing that.
Indeed. The warden is talking about getting her CC license now. I told her how it was illegal for me to carry in church. She said screw that, do it anyway.
There are more church shootings than school shootings. But I pity the moron who tries that at my church. In any given service there are at least six armed and trained guys. Some are identifiable by the green security jackets, but most aren't.
Lessee, there's ex-Marine corporal Jeff - we call him the Sergeant-at-Arms - handing out the bulletins (S&W M&P .40), Detective Stan at the sound board (Glock 23), Pat the light guy (FN .45), ex-Marine Mark (Kimber .45), Big John wearing the biker colors (Kimber .45), Big Ron of the Seattle Police (Glock 22), Mike the FFL (Sig Nightmare .45), Eric the church Elder (usually a Sig .380), Jay the men's ministry director (Springfield XD .45), and Squire Doug, former airline pilot who owns a vast collection of firearms including a complete set of WWII small arms. The Squire prefers a S&W Airweight .38 Special. Dan the drummer is an FFL also, but he's old school and carries a Colt SAA in .45 LC (no, I'm not joking). Oh, can't forget my dad - the pastor. He's a Sig guy. And the associate pastor carries a 9mm. I'm usually onstage with a guitar - and the Glock 22. Most of these guys are also cigar smokers.
My church isn't a gun-free zone.
Ha, Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition! Not that it really matters, but what's the CC rule in WA when it comes to "places of worship"?
It's up to the places of worship. If you have a CPL in WA, you can carry anywhere except: Anyplace that is restricted to 21+ and is selling alcohol (which is why you find most restaurants here put a velvet rope around the bar to define a no-carry area), anyplace where judicial proceedings are held (but they are required by law to provide a secure place to check weapons), the secured portions of airports, the secured portions of jails or prisons, and public schools unless you are just picking up a student and leaving. Stadiums and convention centers operated by cities or municipalities can restrict un-licensed carry, but cannot restrict licensed carry. Private properties (like businesses) can prohibit firearms, even if licensed, but enforcement is restricted to having authorities escort you off the premises and maybe pursuing a trespass complaint.
All things considered, for such a Commie state that requires any transfer through an FFL, we're pretty sane about the carry of firearms. Lots and lots of gun owners here.
