Many times, the cops will get you for disturbing the peace if they want to target open carriers. Happens in Nebraska often enough.

WA has a “Black Panther” law, openly carry firearms to intimidate is against the law. That’s been broadly interpreted by urban LE agencies to discourage all open carry. There is a movement to educate, using AG findings that open carry is legal in the State.

WA is also a “shall issue” state.
1 in 25 in WA have CPL (concealed pistol license).
