I wonder if he is paying for his own attorney, using a public defender, or getting legal services provided by one of the 2nd amendment orgs? Anyone happen to know?

He is paying for his own attorney. I spoke with him this morning after court.

If you want to listen to the 911 tapes that are now public record.

Hmmm. IF, repeat IF, what the witnesses say is true...Kirby was a little off base. It appears, repeat appears, he is a hard core Open Carry Advocate...which is okay. But, again, IF he was "playing like Wyatt Earp" then I think he was overdoing it.

It appears, his agenda for the day was to make a point of open carry. It was reported that he participated in an open carry rally of some type several days before.

I support the rights of folks to open carry...although I do not do so myself. But when folks carry, open or otherwise, they have a responsibility to do so prudently.

Sir, look at my previous post and listen to the 911 tapes. Doesn't sound like he was acting like Wyatt Earp. Is acting like Wyatt Earp a crime? (remember Earp was a lawman) and if it is a crime can you recite the RCW?

He was not at an open carry rally, where do you come up with this information. It was 70 degrees in Vancouver that day and the day before. He took off his jacket because it was warm. He was at the mall the day before and asked to cover up his firearm.

Listen to the 911 tape.

Listen to the 911 tape.

Read the link posted previously by GRUNDEL. And remember, I said, "IF"

 

[ikari2_2000]

Dispatch: Is he using it in an aggressive manner?
Caller: No, No, No, No, but it's not concealed in any way. It's completely exposed, so whether he's licensed or not it's an exposed gun.

WTF!?! :angry:

Call the witness to the stand. I want to see this idiot.

 

[Benny503]

How can this be alarming the callers? the first caller seem to know the guy information very well before calling 911... Is this a threat to the caller first caller? I dont think the caller is nervous plus the caller indicate it's not a threat.... this is a bs ticket, will get toss out. Now all they do is this guy screwup so they can block him up.

He was at the mall the day before and asked to cover up his firearm.

Listen to the 911 tape.

to The Columbian he was escorted from the mall by security, no mention of them asking him to cover it up that I remember seeing. I haven't seen any "no weapons allowed" signs at the mall for several years. They used to have it in fine print on the reader boards at the entrances, but not any more.

If he was "acting out" the store video should bear that out. Otherwise the only evidence is the witnesses, who may be hysterical anti gun libtards

Like I said..

Everyone in this thread, listen to the 911 tape.

 

[Atroxus]

Wow, after listening to the 911 tape it disgusts me that the prosecutor is going forward with charges. I really hope the guy that says Kirby was going all "wyatt earp" with his hand on the gun is the same douche that called 911. If so he's gonna look like the lying PoS that he is when his story doesn't match what he told the 911 operator. A charge of perjury against him would be freaking awesome, though I am not gonna hold my breath for that.

Open-carry gun case ends with diversion deal

 

[Stomper]

Isn't diversion for alchol/drug issues?


I'm an open-carry-aholic.... and my name is "Wyatt Earp".

I see no problem in any way with open carry...............
BUT..............
Know you will get the same treatment as this man did.
There are enough left wing hysterics that I would almost guarantee you will get the same treatment almost anywhere in a metro area that is as far left as most of the larger cities in Oregon and Washington.. I won't even
bring up the Beijing state to the south.
If subjecting yourself to this is what you want to do...........not much can be said. Wyoming, Utah, Montana, Idaho... There are not all the little socialist/communists to give you grief, although they have their share too.
Here, you just have headaches and expenses trying to make your point.

Well, I carry in downtown Seattle all the time with no problems.

I also open carry during the warm times here. I have been around many LEOs and have never had as much as 1 dirty look. (from them)

Good, but......
ie; you forgot to add "yet" wait til the first anti-nutcase calls .... when you have the ability to carry concealed, it seems a little maschochistic to open carry................ I hate paying lawyers anything You could buy 15 or 20 new firearms with what it costs for even a simple court case <?logic?>

Really? I could get hit by a bus too, but it just hasn't happened. I was in Seattle today, as usual. There were police around, they even came up to one of us and stated "you don't have to talk to us". Our response was, are we free to go? The answer was affirmative and we went on our way.

Don't get into the 'but' scenario when you are sitting at home, it just doesn't pass the smell test.

From today.
