Yeah. we have OC here in WA too. Not too big of a deal here on the right side of the state, but over on the left coast it WAS a big deal for a while.

Lots of "man with a gun" calls for a while. The dispatchers just got trained to ask simple questions like; Is the gun in a holster? Is the gun being waived around? Is the man with the gun menacing or threatening anyone? After those questions are all given a NO answer they just tell the dingbat making the call that the OC person isn't breaking any laws and to call back if they start breaking the law. After a while the number of calls dropped off a lot from what I understand.

I OC whenever I'm out in the woods - including riding quads. After a day of riding last summer we stopped into a fast food joint for shakes. I didn't even think about the hogleg on my hip. Apparently nobody else thought much about it either. I never even got any funny looks from anyone - or at least not that I noticed...
