The Seattle tea party protest was a great success. There were
Approximately 1000 protestors that came out in force to be
heard. There were also some out that wanted to be seen. I am
not talking about the people with signs but rather people with their pistols on their hip. The Seattle Police Officers were very professional about it, knowing it is a lawful action, and there are reports that a few actually commended them for open carrying. These same officers also expressed their personal opinion about the citizens right to keep and bear arms.

During the protest the only person who vocally objected to a visible firearm was some guy who was obviously not a participant. He was there to simple try and cause issues, which did not work.

If any of you would like to see picture proof that SPD understands that open carry is lawful in Wa. please take a look at this thread at Open Carry dot Org.
