    Get in line now for a concealed permit if you want one. The process is months behind due to COVID shutdowns.

    The political insider hope is that Chinslee gets some environmental czar position from Biden and GTFO of WA State.

    I bought my first firearm (9M) in March or April when shit started going south, followed up a month later with a shotgun. I've stopped going to the range because ammos is so damn expensive.

    Shotgun is the best home defense weapon and you don't have to practice shooting with one because 00 buck shot is the shit. Maim first, then a rifled slug finishes them off.

    Some actual training is highly recommended. Also join the NRA so you have a chance to keep it. If you drift to Idaho look me up I'll help you out.

    Congrats Citizen!

    Citizens are armed. Subjects aren't.

    Sportsman's warehouse in Everett has occasionally had range ammo in stock, but it goes quickly. The last time I went to Wade's in Bellevue, their 9mm range ammo was $35 for 50 rounds.

    I'm not a gun guy at all, but I know people. Ammo seems to be almost double what it was in early March

    Don't do it Stalin. There are people to talk to if you need help. Plus who will Vanilla work for if you're gone.

    Renewal, or new?

    And for newbies, it varies by jurisdiction. If your in city limits, it's up to you're police department. Unincorporated areas (like me), it goes to county sheriff. The friendly agencies make it easy, like SnoCo sheriff. I've heard, going back aways, places like Bellevue PD don't

    I applied yesterday for the first tim. I'm expecting it in 3-4 weeks. It might help that I have a tiny municipality/PD to go through.

    I did finger printing through Bellevue Fingerprinting. Super efficient and they send prints directly to the state in liew of the municipality you apply through.

    For DJ, I'm pretty sure Woodinville is on their list. Should tell you on their website.

    I went the other way. Bought a 12ga in March and picked up a 9mm Glock last week.

    That's expensive. If you are near Bellevue, go to West Coast Armory in Factoria.

    I picked up 1000 rounds online for $650, or $0.65 per bang.

    As of yesterday, it's down to $0.6 per bang at WCA.

    It goes w/o saying, there's a popular misconception among the GP about shot guns...you do still have to aim them. But the advantage is 1 round of 00 Buck is like trowing 4 or 5 9MM bullets in one shot, so if you do manage to hit the bad guys they are going down hard.

    Do you have to apply in your jurisdiction, or can you apply wherever it's available (and easy)? Last I checked, Redmond had to wait to Phase 3, along with Sammamish.

    Standard rules are that you have to apply in your residential law enforcement jurisdiction. I don't know if there's any 'Vid exemptions.

    As I understood it, the covid restriction had to do with who fingerprints. I know that Bellevue Fingerprinting covers Redmond.

    I was told I could choose between BF in conjunction w my municipality, or go through King County Sherriff's office.

    I imagine the same applies in Redmond, but you will need to discuss w Redmond PD to know for sure.
