2014 Sheriff Candidate Ed Owens has graciously offered to donate some food to the
local Open Carry Community here in Vancouver, WA to have an Open Carry BBQ at the
East Precinct with an open invitation to have the Vancouver Police Department come
out to join us. The intention here is to provide some positive interaction to help relieve
any tensions that may exist. It's an opportunity for the VPD to see that we are not the
enemy and vice versa and to educate others. We have been working with the VPD for a
few weeks now to put this together with their cooperation and have already seen some
positive results.
Please remember that during these events all eyes are on us to put forth a positive
image. For that reason and for reasons of safety we asks that sidearms remain holstered
and if you choose to bring long arms then they need to remain slung. If anyone needs a
sling then we can supply materials to make one. I know it can be tempting to show off
your new Glock to friends however this isn't going to be the place for it.
