I was OCing around the Palouse mall today and I realized that they don't actually have security guards, even so no one seemed to care except a redneck looking guy giving me the bug eye.

So I figure we should probably have a get together after Pullman PDs show of force the other day. I figure we should probably have it here in Pullman but if enough people want to have in Moscow that's okay too. I'm pretty much available all this weekend.

I must be slightly out of the loop at the moment, what show of force? I probably wont be able to attend unless it is after the 14th of July, but I have a few friends that would probably be interested, they aren't members here but they do OC on occasion.

FunkTrooper had a run in with the local PPD. He posted it under it's own post though (another good reason to keep all Pullman posts in one location ). Basically, three PPD with Tacti-Cool gear and M-4s responded to a male carrying a drink from Starbucks in one hand and a few movies in the other...Oh, and he did have a gun in a holster on his hip. He stood his ground though, and was polite but firm in his rights.

| Is anyone in Pullman going to be OCing for the 4th in the park? I thought we could maybe have an informal meet-up? I'm not sure who all is still here for the summer. Given recent events, it might be a good idea.

| It looks like it's in Sunnyside Park. I think we may attract some sort of attention. Let me check with the S/O to make sure I'm free...

I doubt we would get a lot of attention either way I'll be sure to set up my Ipod to voice record before I go to an event.

I Graduated and I'm no longer in Pullman!
As far as open-carry on the WSU campus goes, it gets a bit convoluted. If you're not a student there's very little they can do to you other than ask you to leave the campus (trespass). If you attempt to get into one of the football games carrying, you will not be admitted. If you're open-carrying I would absolutely expect a campus PD response in almost any situation, except perhaps on one of the bus routes that loops through the campus.
There are provisions for students to carry (even openly, which is not expressly forbidden) on campus in the WAC under some very limited terms: traveling from off-campus directly to the WSU PD gun-check and traveling from the WSU PD gun-check directly off campus is permitted. You'll see in the police log "RP checking firearm at gun-check" or something to that effect.
I have open carried a battle-rifle on a sling under those specific WAC's for the purpose of checking it in at the gun-check before. It was absolutely in accordance with the campus policy and the WAC's but I got an awful lot of strange looks from students and several cell-phone calls were placed. 
Anyhow, I'm a bit surprised at the M4 tacticool response to OC at Blockbuster video. However, given the close proximity to that coffee shop I refuse to name, I can just imagine some ultra-radical socialist neo-hippie calling the police and telling them that a rampant shooting spree was imminent simply because some young citizen had a holstered firearm...

I almost got assaulted by two drunk guys tonight. I was heading back from campus commons north after checking out a brush fire the fire department just put out. I was walking back to my apartment through CCN backyards next to a fence when two drunk guys were coming down. I was keeping an eye on them, as we passed each other the one closest to me pushes me off to the side. The guy asks me "who the &*^% are you looking at" and I tell him to just chill and I notice that they're closing in on me backing me up to a wall. I had concealed my pistol by wearing the right part of my jacket over it with my jacket unzipped. At that moment I moved the side of my jacket revealing my pistol ready to draw but the moment I moved my jacket the one guy noticed the gun and yelled "oh %&*#". The two took off and I made it home. I decided not to call the Police as I don't want them to charge me for a bogus crime like brandishing especially since I didn't even get my hand to the grip.
To shad0wfax It was no one from the cofee shop it was a gardener who called saying I was on my way headed towards dissmores.

Hey guys. I am a WSU student and am psyched to hear that there are OCers in this town. I turned 21 at the end of last school year, and am just buying my first pistol so I am looking forward to OCing this upcoming year. So who all is still going to school here? Right now I am in Kennewick WA with the parents if any of you are from the TC as a lot of WSU kids are.

Welcome GSXtasy I am currently an undergrad at WSU and I'd be pleased to OC with you when you come to town. Do you already have a CPL?

Do you know which WAC? I'd like to look at it to see what it says, as I would have no problems going to the gun-check every day. I'd just be nervous the first couple times as directly traveling to the WSU PD gun-check for me means walking through campus. Also I've noticed signs on the buses stating that it is against the rules to possess a firearm on the bus.
And I'll be around for another year, but I won't be carrying until November when I can head to a gun store. (Unless someone wants to take a trip up to Spokane?  ). I'd be up for anything if you guys are planning it.

There shouldn't be signs on the buses as it would be preempted by state law.

Well, someone called the cops on me this morning. I can't be sure but I'm almost positive that's what happened. I stopped by the Goodwill drop off joint by ShopKo/Safeway and dumped a bag of crap with the guy there. We bs'd for a while and then I hopped back into my truck. I changed CDs (Tool ftw) in my truck and I noticed that a silver acura was parked alongside the curb by the trailer and he pulled in, I could see him talking on the cell phone. He drove back behind my truck, I guess to get my license number. Anyway, I went to Ace - spent about 5 minutes picking up a couple nuts and bolts and when I left the Ace parking lot, a Pullman PD car pulled out of the SW lot and followed me.
I drove back to college hill, headed home up Valley Rd, but he was tailing me and I didn't feel like having a conversation so I just headed over to Moscow to finish my errands. He tailed me to the airport before turning around in the gravel overview lot. I'll be curious to see if there's a police log tomorrow. Not a big deal, it was just weird. I white-nuckled all the way, not wanting to give him PC to stop me.

Yep I have my CPL and carry an LCP but I wouldn't dare OC that. I am working on picking something up this week that is nice and shiny and would look good in a leather OWB. Just about three more weeks until Pullman is alive again!

A buddy and I OC'd today, first @ Dairy Queen. I don't think anyone really noticed. The cashier asked if my clothes were hot in the weather. They were. Sheeple.
My buddy and I are looking at getting some better training. It sounds like some of you guys are pretty good. Any recommendations? Any SF guys here?
Peace.

Welcome aboard Iceman. Yes, there are SF guys here, but they generally don't advertise it. I'd suggest that you come to some of our meetings, and if you don't appear to be a "mall ninja" and really are looking for people to train with instead of trying to learn the latest "tacticicool rapid Ranger recon peep" clearing technique, then you could possibly find somebody. Look for our meetings in three weeks.

Damn, my plans are foiled again. Dave's always raining on my tacticool parades.
