No show of LEOs at all. At least a half a dozen smokers (open carrying) went outside the front door for a smoke and all was good. I left the meet and headed down to our waterfront(Ruston way, Shuster parkway) with my Wife, son and 2 of his friends, for a walk by the bay while open carrying. This is a busy place with quite a few LEOs driving by all the time. Not 1 issue or confrontation at all. As the weather gets better, there will be more open carry for me. I have gone completely OWB carry and it has been a lot more comfortable. The bad weather has kept me concealed by a coat. As I read more, on open carry, on the Open Carry Dot Org forum, I find that this way of carry is a growing trend here in Washington. The LEOs are getting on board with this as are the different establishments . (stores, restaurants, ect) More and more people are doing this with little to no confrontations. For me it has been like an out of the closet kind of experience. I don't feel like I am hiding something. Just by getting comfortable with OWB carry without the worry about the legal ramifications of it, has lifted a weight from my shoulders. This may not be for every body, but it sure feels good to me.
