Infection is a good choice of word. Let’s face it though, it isn’t just the west coast. The Liberal east coast is just as bad, and the infection is spreading inland from both sides. I’m afraid we’re outflanked. Their goal being from sea to shining sea. My worst fears are that we’ll reach a critical mass of popular opinion, and legislation will take root in places that otherwise wouldn’t have...thanks to the leftist media terror blanket.

I’m in Washington actually. You couldn’t pay me enough to live in California with their draconian gun laws. Although, I am firmly convinced that we’re on the fast track to those same laws....we here still have most of the same constitutional rights.( open carry without a license, “shall issue” concealed carry licenses”, no “assault rifle” bans and no magazine limitations. A couple of years ago we also gained SBR rights back as well. That was a big win for us.

Does it feel the same everywhere? Does it feel safer in the heartland? Here on the west coast, I feel a sense of doom that is becoming nearly overwhelming. I’ve been heavily invested in the fight to keep our State gun rights for the last 8 years. Endless rallies at the State capital, and countless letters to my representatives are beginning to feel like a true waste of time. There is a definite sense of loss here. We lost an important battle a few years ago, when State law changed to prohibit person to person sales without an FFL. It was a crushing blow to us locals who recognize that loss of freedom. Frankly...I nearly moved out of State over it, but my youngest was still here at the time. With the leftist stranglehold on the media, I’m considering the possibility that we on the left coast are in a virtual blackout of real information though. Is the feeling the same there back at home, or is it mostly my close proximity to all these commie ####s? Opinions please!!

Hello all... Quick introduction...I’m originally from Nashville, but moved out to the West coast about fifteen years ago. I’ve been living on the Olympic Peninsula for about 5 years now. For those not familiar with the geography, that’s pretty much equi-distant to the State capital of Olympia, Tacoma, and Seattle. (Although the peninsula population is decidedly more conservative than that of those named cities) I am a Marine Veteran, father of 3, grandfather of 1. I’ll be turning 44 at the end of this month. (We’re calling it my “magnum” birthday. I’m a staunch believer in the Constitution of the United States, and the natural born rights which it CONFIRMS.
