Open carry of rifles ok, or no?

Open carry of rifles ok, or no?

I haven't heard anything saying you shouldn't, but the general concensus at events like this is dress normal and CC.

Personally I keep an AR pistol broken down in a backpack incase SHTF, and CC a fullsize pistol with 2x 20rd backup mags.

I feel this event will fall on deaf ears as our elected officials are a bunch of leftist loons.

That said, count me in.

It's fine, many people do, but you need to ask yourself the question; "do you want your picture in the news or not." The people who OC rifles at this event every year are subjected to having their images (video and stills) used by the leftist media to try to demonize all gun owners as "evil mass shooting, baby killing gun nuts".

Anyone from Lake Stevens area going?

 

[Rickenbacher39]

It would be nice if they could keep the crazies from open carrying 3 pistols with at least
two AR's slung over their shoulder and wearing full camo.
They are the epitome of how the public perceives us.
I even saw bandoleers last time.

 

[Boss]

By all means, if folks can use this thread to set up carpools, go for it.

Trying to update the thread title, but not having much luck at the moment.

I've got a bunch printed out and going to drive around Grays Harbor, hand some off to friends and then put them up in businesses where they will be seen and not get wet.

 

[Porter]

I will be there with some local 2a brothers from Kitsap county. I dropped off plenty of fliers with a range officer at a local gun range. Looking forward to this, I am putting the word out everyday.

Anyone know anything about who is organizing this? Is there someplace other than this thread that I can point people at? Seems like the word hasn't been spread that far, I found about it by reading the WAC newsletter (on time for once).
