Fear and hostility toward open carry in Olympia

[oneshooter]

Wrapping up this week’s coverage of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s hearing on SB 6396 – Sen. Adam Kline’s measure to ban so-called “assault weapons” – the story would not be complete without noting an incident that occurred outside the hearing room.
Prior to the hearing, as several Open Carry activists gathered in the hallway of the John A. Cherberg Senate Office Building, Washington CeaseFire’s Ralph Fascitelli approached a member of the State Patrol’s security team and, after pointing out that there were visibly armed citizens in the building, demanded of the trooper: “Do you know if they’re loaded?”
Sources have confirmed to the Gun Rights Examiner that Fascitelli appeared both irritated and unnerved, and he wanted the State Patrol troopers to check every firearm at the door of the building to see if they were loaded. He was told by the WSP that troopers do not have the authority under state law to do that.

Evidently, Fascitelli was not aware that carrying firearms in public, even on the Capitol Campus, is legal. Open carry in this state has been affirmed by at least two court rulings in the past several years, State v. Spencer and State v. Gregory Casad, the latter an unpublished opinion from the State Court of Appeals, District II.

3. I love it when real men with guns make wimpy liberals pee their pants, don't you?

For the record I oppose ANY limitations on on gun ownership and display but I don't question the sincerity of people who disagree with me.

4. top notch journalism:

"Sources have confirmed to the Gun Rights Examiner that Fascitelli appeared both irritated and unnerved".

anyone ask the party in question if he was irritated and unnerved?

7. The fact that he was pressuring the SP to "do something about the guns"

Is proof of his soiled underwear.

11. "appearing" irritated and unnerved, is all that is needed to say he... "appeared"

It didn't say he WAS just that he appeared that way.
Just because he looked both irritated and unnerved does not mean he actually was both irritated and unnerved.

16. This quote from the article seems very appropriate.

"In my experience, the common thread in anti-gun people is rage. Either anti-gun people harbor more rage than others, or they're less able to cope with it appropriately. Because they can't handle their own feelings of rage, they are forced to use defense mechanisms in an unhealthy manner. Because they wrongly perceive others as seeking to harm them, they advocate the disarmament of ordinary people who have no desire to harm anyone.”—Dr. Sarah Thompson, MD"

6. Gun Control advocates, just love to poke the bear...

Then have the nerve to act shocked when people show up....

How Ironic, some idiot, wants to pass a stupid gun control law, yet, he is blatantly ignorant of other gun laws.. And gets all bent out of shape, when confronted by a group of very peaceful people that are armed....Even the State Troopers where at ease.....

Well, like in other states, Mr Fascitelli, will learn the bitter taste of crushing defete...and you watch, his next "hot button" issue will be "Guns in public", since he was so scared.

Thanks for stirring the pot, just a little more, and reminding the people of Washington, that assholes are waiting to infringe on their civil rights.

You just sold some more guns, and signed up more people to the NRA and GOA... And quite possibly brought enough pressure to bear on the legislator, will be forced to pass PRO gun laws, out of fear of being labeled a "gun controller".

17. I really like this quote from the article.
