This is a subject that is destined to touch a nerve with some folks. Here in Washington State it's kind of odd because although we have distinguished ourselves as a psychotic "blue State," - a common citizen (like me) can obtain a concealed-carry permit quite easily. I don't have a habit of carrying my pistol (a Para-Ordanance P-13 .45ACP with various modifications), but I can if I want.
The freedom to do so is what is important to me. Beside, you all know what a cautious fellow I am - right?
