Another one from Western Washington?

Apparently I completely failed at introducing myself here before posting elsewhere on the forum. Most of my LR questions have been answered here over the past few years and it seemed like time to join the community and contribute, rather than just be a pedestrian.

Lynnwood-based, but only because they have a Chic-fil-A and a Buffalo Wild Wings.

You can have your buffalo wild wings. My son (a college student at university of Idaho) went into the buffalo wild in Moscow Idaho with a bunch of buddies one who was utilizing his open-carry right. The manager asked him to take the gun to his car...manager said he'd even asked a policeman to do the same thing. Needless to say, my son and his buddies said F--- You and left.
Now, this manager might have been acting on his own especially since Idaho is VERY gunfriendly, but I've not been to one since!!!!

I'm glad to have a fellow Washingtonian around...I'm also a newbie here!!!

Because leaving a gun in a car is so much safer than carrying it. Never understood that thought process.

People with limited exposure to firearms can behave unpredictably when they come across a (legal) gun in public though. I watched a co-worker get fired for having a rifle in his trunk at work. Admittedly, leaving the rifle in the trunk was dumb, but his excuse was he picked it up from the smith that afternoon and was returning it to his safe that night. The rifle was in the employees trunk - never left the car, was never taken out and shown to anyone. A fellow employee oversaw the rifle and reported it to security, who demanded the employee leave the site immediately, reported the incident to the building owner who then had the employee "removed from site" aka, fired the next day.

This all happened in a parking garage under a DT Seattle building. A public access garage with no signage indicating "no firearms" etc. The employee should never have been reprimanded, little less fired.

It was a scary gun though. Black and sinister with a detachable magazine and a front grip. He was obviously up to no good.

That sounds like the kind of gun that goes off and shoots someone (all by itself.) I've heard about those black guns with detatchable magazines...they are real-scary. I may never go to DT Seattle again if those things live there...

I stay far away from those big city’s. Only reason I go to Olympia is because my wife’s doctor is up there ( baby two on the way).
I lived in Chehalis for a couple years and it was ok but finally settle back home to hide in the sticks.

I always wonder how these hidden guns get found out. If it was in the trunk, and no one knew you had it, how did it get discovered?

Dude was putting his jacket in the trunk and getting his lunch out before starting work. Co-worker who parked next to him noticed the rifle.

I hope the reporting party had a few flat tires soon after.
