"A right will remain a right when enough people continue to believe it is a right."

Maybe it is too late for Western Washington. Government will do their best to make it into a disturbing the peace issue. Can't rule over the citizen's if they aren't breaking a law. But someone that wants to be re-elected will have to prosecute that law.

Since we are still one state though, we operate by the same set of laws. So setting a precedent for open carrying in Eastern Washington might just help the gun issue with all those "gun banners" living in Western Washington.

Besides that open carrying is the right thing to do. 28 years, (my lifetime), of hiding guns has got us where? AWB renewal proposed by a REPUBLICAN president? WT???
