I'll second that post.

I'm also a Nevada instructor who has a WA permit and a second home in Tacoma. I'm am 100% with netentity regarding the OP's post.
I've had my WA permit since 04/1972 and I would NEVER consider asking a flunky door greeter at Wal-Mart if I could carry in the store. EVER.

If you walked your dog, would U ask 1st if you could bring your German Shepherd into any place, assuming it was OK and barge right in with Rover? Well buster U can't act like that without creating probs for you, the dog and the establishment/area or private property. NO U ask 1st, or U can get into problems. But asking may put more places posting 'No Pets' right? A dog can B a weapon. Don't drag me into your non-WA state mindset/state laws. Please leave this thread and go post to your own state CCW law thread.

You having a bad day or are you really this naive? Before you tell me to surf elsewhere, I grew up in Tacoma and my entire family still lives there. WA was my first permit over 37 years ago. I think I have as much right as any other Washingtonian to post here in this thread and in the WA forum in general.

IMO, threads like this pop up as a result of no training requirements. If you can fog a mirror, you can get a WA permit.

I am severely hearing impaired and the dog in my avatar was my hearing ear dog for 9 years before I retired her.
I never asked if I could enter a business establishment with my dog. I was challenged many times and ended up providing education for the proprietors. If they still wanted to humiliate me in public, I just threatened them with a law suit under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Just like netentity lives by his sig line. KNOW THE LAW. DON'T ASK. DON'T TELL.

I think the OP would be well served to find a WA CCW instructor. You'd be surprised at what you learn. There's that old saying: You don't know what you don't know.

Know what I mean, Vern?

As far as the alcohol issue goes in WA, if you went to a Denny's that served beer and wine, feel free to sit anywhere. They must have an area restricted to patrons over 21 or it's game on. Feel free to have a beer while you're at it.

I think If you had your dog properly concealed everything would be cool man.

I never ask either. I just open carry right on past them. Never had an issue with the greeter and only once with a manager who asked me to conceal it as I was checking out 30 ft from the door on my way out!

Personally, that's the way I think it should be. It's closer to the intention of the Constitution that way. Now if they would just quit charging money for them!

+1. You're a pretty cool guy, Teamdigit, even if you are the graverobber of old threads!
