My advice would be to mind your own business.
WA laws are irrelevant.. the guy was in portland..
This guy lacks responsibility. Period.
I think the key here is concealed, not hidden. Along the lines of not brandishing. For the most part, only CCL/CPL folks notice this stuff- the general public doesn't know what to look for, and usually figures what they see is some goofy old cell phone in a geek holder on a belt. The law doesn't require them to be hidden- just concealed in a reasonable manner. If you and I knew each other, and it was no longer concealed- i.e. in plain view- I'd mention it. Beyond that, I'd mind my own business. I think your intent is good- help a fellow "likely good guy" to hone his craft- but you never know and I'd just move along...

That said with our cold temps lately, have to wonder how he was carrying and what he was wearing to be printing. Asside from that, who cares.. If he printed while reaching for something, or in an ackward position, I would give him a pass and commend myself on spotting him as well as knowing there is a another sheepdog around. If he was constantly printing or showing I would likely have approached him away from other people and just mentioned it very casually in passing.. Maybe even a "what do you carry" to strike up a conversation, and let him know that I carry too, start talking hardware etc.
If he reacts badly to initial mention, oh well, I am on my way after a quick mention, nice to not meet you..
Some people may not care if they show or not, it is not considered brandishing. At the same time if you do not care, they why not just open carry? Ohhh yeah it draws less attention. Well then why snap at someone that brings to attention that your shirt is hung over your pistol grip like a trench coat in a spaghetti western high noon showdown? We have all been there, specially new carriers that are trying to find they way they like to carry and that works FOR THEM.. Never hurts Help a fellow 2A supporter out...
When I opened the link to the WA laws, my first reaction was, "crap! Look at all those laws!" Then I wonder what our "founding fathers" would say in relation to the Bill of Rights...I don't have all the answers, sometimes I just shake my head and keep my mouth shut. It seems as though we have a lot of work to do, and are swimming against the current.
Regarding the printing, I am usually comforted knowing that I am not the only one.
I really enjoy seeing my customers who carry (both "concealed" and "outside carry",) both for the kind of people they are as well as for the fun conversations, AND I am always glad to see those who feel it is their responsibility as a citizen to carry.
Sincerely.
other than that...tell me where OR is better?
Correct me if I am wrong but the two things that I am pretty sure that OR has that we can not do in WA is carry in bars and schools. This is with a CPL.
