Yup, they did.
Keep in mind though, it's not that WA residents are idiots, or that the R voters didn't vote. (plenty on both sides didn't vote) The problem is the rest of the state being so badly outnumbered by the Seattle area. Same for Oregon, and a number of other states (Colorado for example?) I can attest to your point for sure. As soon as you get out side the friggin city centers in WA, the people are VERY conservative or libertarian. Unfortunately, the city centers are VERY liberal and outnumber us.

... However there is only one sheriff that I know of that is currently enforcing or attempting to enforce the law and that is in King County.
Our Sheriff here locally doesn't have any plans in place to enforce the law. ... I can attest to your point for sure. As soon as you get out side the friggin city centers in WA, the people are VERY conservative or libertarian. Unfortunately, the city centers are VERY liberal and outnumber us. We were planning to move to Island County (Whidbey). Met with the folks at the local rod and gun club (very, very nice facility by the way). I hope we aren't making a mistake?

Nah you should be alright (for awhile). Island county pop. is fairly conservative, but as more and more "summer people" retire and move out there fulltime and Californians continue to "discover" the place it will lean more to the left.

This state is fugged in some ways and better off in others.
594 hasn't done a thing.
I love I don't have to worry about check points on the road.

You aren't. I live in Island county and am quite happy out here. The deputies are good guys, everyday after dinner and many days before dinner all my neighbors target practice. The sound of gunshots ring out and the sound of freedom comforts freedom loving Americans. Our deputies are pro gun and the liberals tend to keep a low profile. One of my neighbors about a mile down the road has a massive wooden NRA sign in his front yard. You'll like Whidbey island it's a beautiful place with some real quirky folks. What rod and gun club did you speak with? Holmes harbor?

Yep but that was a long time ago. I will watch this carefully but doubt it will go anywhere. Yeah, like how 80% of WA voted YES for the last gun control bills. WA is F(CKED. We've talked about this before, 80% DID NOT VOTE YES. Way too many did not vote at all. Not voting NO is a vote for Yes. It's not a difficult concept to grasp, unless you're from Washington. No decision is a decision. That is lost on many, you included.

Not voting is just stupid! Not voting is just wad they did. When you don't have to leave your house, just on your mail, fill out your ballot, and send it in and you still don't vote you are stupid and lazy. That is exactly what Washington conservative voter are, stupid and lazy.

I sure would help if conservatives would get off their lazy asses a f fill out their ballots. Not sure if I'm a "conservative", probably lean a bit libertarian/independent. I did my civic duty today and stuffed my primary ballot directly in the box outside the county auditor's office at the courthouse. The box next to Patty Murray's name was NOT filled in. Then I went and picked up a new "toy" at the LGS!  Geno

What rod and gun club did you speak with? Holmes harbor? Thanks. Good to know. Yes. It was Holmes Harbor. Very impressed with the club and the range.

Damn! I guess my Mauser action .375 H&H would be in jeopardy in those states. Good thing, though, they're not after the lesser powered rifles like AR-15s.

you're not an OR resident yet? Tax Evader!  Geno PS Unfortunately, just like in many other places, the big cities will more than likely determine our Senators.

I wonder what the deputies in Island County would think of this: I guess this is another example of why I not only have no faith in the justice system and why I don't shed any tears when the cops are ambushed or killed. Us against them.

Ah, Scott, just pickin' on ya. And with that new trailer and trips to AZ and whatnot, are you a resident of anywhere? Let's just the both of us hope OR/WA doesn't go the CA/MA route. I'm trying to convince my wife we want to retire to AZ. Only a few more years to go, so perhaps I'll avoid any issues. Geno
