So I have only been carrying again regularly since February. Today I had a pallet full of parts to run up to a contractor I do quite a bit of work for. He gives me an address, tells me its at Terminal 91 in Seattle. I dont think much of it but as I am driving up there is a guard shack and a sign that says "Military base" or something to that effect. There is an armory located there and I suppose all of it is federally owned property (its the Port of Seattle)
I freaked out a bit, and to be better safe than sorry I made him drive his truck out to the parking lot outside the guard shack and off loaded all 900 pounds of brackets by hand into his truck. He was not to happy with me but I didn't have anyplace I could put my pistol and the last thing I want to do is risk getting caught. I suspect they take such things very serious and even though I know there is a 99.99% chance I could get in and out with it and no problems that .01% is to much risk. (I value my freedom and my rights, I know many are cavalier about such things but when it comes to firearms and the law I toe the line)
So what would you have done? What other options are there? I know most of the time you know exactly where you will have problems but like this there has to be odd times where you just seem to be stuck.
