Interesting and funny encounter today

CCW holders are permitted to carry openly with a chambered round in all parts of Oregon.

Please excuse the Dumb Question, but do you need anything special to OC in Washington and Yamhill Counties? No CCW needed, right?

Correct no CHL needed as long as you are compliant with local restrictions.

Yup that. @Mono1
Always make sure to check for current or new restrictions that may happen or change.

At a coffee shop where a few of us were open carrying, I stepped outside for a cigarette and overheard a patron on the phone saying, "There's nothing you can do? How can that be?" He never approached us or even made eye contact.

During a conversation about guns another member of the group, probably not a gun owner related that a young neighbor of hers was "parading around the parking lot" with a gun and the police wouldn't do anything. I asked her what law he was breaking.
"Well, he had a gun!"
"Was it in a holster?"
"Well yes but everyone could see it." (I resisted making a comment. You know what comment.)
"Was he over 21?"
"I don't know."
"Open carry is not illegal in Washington State."
"What?"
And so forth. She had trouble believing that you only needed a license to carry concealed, but she eventually seemed to get it. I give her points for being reasonably polite and straightforward.

Just some older guy who was cleaning his car, no clue who he was.

Cleaning his car at the gas station?
So , using their trash receptacles for free with his personal garbage.

Quality individual.
Lecturers need to have their own personal shortcomings thrown in their faces.

"Open carry is not illegal in Washington State." "There's nothing you can do? How can that be?"

This is what POs me off most. People just ASSUMING open carry is not legal. I wish they would educate themselves on this.

Heck I see LOTS of illegal things everyday that don't even raise any eyebrows.

TV and movies always get it wrong. It's not like people look up stuff like that. I saw a study once that showed something like 90% of the misconceptions that medical students held were from TV and movies.

When I've open carried, I usually get people asking out of curiosity rather than trying to be facetious. Some have asked if I was LE because of my Safariland retention rigs I use. Can be a great way to encourage positive discussion on the 2A. Part of it, as much as I hate to say it, how you dress while OC can influence people's perception and further commentary on the matter as well.

Well, with antis & dems they SEE guns as dangerous so they naturally assume any form of open display MUST be illegal.

Heck, the most dangerous thing easily obtainable (and legal) is a gallon of gas!
