Eastside ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
There are three or four guys from the Spokane area. I'd travel to the middle of the state to blast away with a group of like minded fellows. |

I will be over on the East side mid Nov. for deer. North of Newport, around Cusick and Usk.

I go to school in Walla Walla but live in North ID close (enough) to Spokane.

View Quote Maybe we should schedule an Great AR.15.com Eastern Washington Shoot. We should do it before it get too cold. Maybe the next weekend of the Spokane gun show. We could invite those boys from the West side and show them what it is like to shoot at a target more than 25 yds away. |

I'm in Touchet, its like Concrete. no where Eastern Washington.

2nd and Pine. God, I hate this place. The most Crack Smoking Ass Pounding Liberal place I have ever been. Bums, Drug Dealers, and Hookers rule the streets. The Police are fat lazy idiots who not be able to solve a case if their life depended on it. You have to have a gun permit and gun to even walk the streets. The only good thing about this place is that I am returning to CALIFORNIA. Yes, CALIFORNIA! I am a gun nut, and I would rather live in San Diego, California than this place! Yes, I mean it. |

View Quote 2nd and Pine? What do you live in, a garbage dumpster? I agree, that is a crummy neighborhood. But believe it or not, it is WWAAAYYYYYY better than it used to be. You should really check out the rest of Washington before condemning it all based on your habitation at the corner of 2nd and Pine in the most notoriously liberal city in the entire state. I am sure San Diego has far worse intersections than that. But if you must leave, please be sure to take a few fellow Kalifornians along with you. |

It's funny that a lot of Washington is a lot like California. They both have their highly populated liberal places. Seattle and Tacoma dominate Washington politics. In California, L.A. and S.F. dominate California politics. Outside of both, it's rather conservative.
If you look at the percentage, Washington beats out California by a few percent: http://www.vote.wa.gov/2000/vote2000/results/federal_pres.tpl http://vote2000.ss.ca.gov/Returns/pres/00.htm |

Dude, have you been smoking crack or what? You gonna be able to get a conceled weapons permit in SAN DIEGO? BAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!
Second and Pine? Tell you what, how about you take a stroll on Main Street in National City, you know, right behind the land side of 32nd Street Naval Base from around 10 pm to 6 am. Logan Heights.... Hillcrest... Lemon Grove... Imperial Beach... Pacific Beach.... La Mesa.... Yea, you will be MUCH SAFER in San Diego, plus you get the 805, 5, 163, 8 and 15 to play with. I'll be thinking of you here in Washington while I am shooting my pre-ban AR15. Then again......[x] Quoted: God, I hate this place. You have to have a gun permit and gun to even walk the streets.

Hi. My name is Rob, and I'm a kali-ban transplant. I've been free and clear of Kalifornia for 4 years now.
[b][i]----clapping, applause and support-----[/i][/b] My sponsor feels that I'm ready to help others stay free and clear of Kalifornia. Please feel free to ask me any questions after the thread. Thank you. [b][i]----clapping, applause, support and a group hug----[/i][/b] Seriously. [b]Mr_Mullen,[/b] try some other places in WA before returning to the peoples republic of Kalifornia. But if you do go back, KNOW THIS: you'll be returning to the most hostile, anti-gun bigoted government on the west coast. NOT ONLY THAT, if you move back you will be paying the Kali-ban government out of YOUR pocket[in high taxes] to SUPPRESS YOUR RIGHTS! [b]1)[/b]You wont pay state taxes in WA [b]2)[/b]Wa is a shall issue state. Only politicans and actors can get permits in kali-ban. I hope the truth can convince you not to do it. [i]"Friends dont let friends step on their own ding-a-ling."[/i] I live in Olympia. Besides TESC and the governor, I love this place! |

DRIVING IN BALLARD
In order to effectively drive in Ballard, it is important to understand the methods of driving already accepted as standard in this area. The following is a set of standardized behaviors: 1- That thingy on the steering column is not a turn indicator, it is a turn "REQUESTER". Once you have placed your request, remain in your lane until the car behind you passes. At that point, begin this process again and continue until all cars have received your request and passed. Should you decide at any time to actually CHANGE lanes, be prepared for a hearty bleat of the horn from the car behind you. Once all the cars have passed, change lanes quickly and slow down. 2- That thingy in the middle of your steering wheel is a mistake. Never, ever push it, it makes noise and frightens the people around you. The only time it is acceptable to use that thing is if you have decided that the person in front of you should not be allowed to change lanes, but has done so anyway. 3- While waiting at a green light, remember this rule, you must wait at least 3 seconds for every car lined up behind you, if you have trouble with the math, take your time and make sure you get it right. 4- Merging lanes of traffic follow the ancient native rhythms of "you go, I go, I go, I go, you go, you go, we wait, I go, you honk, I signal, you go", repeat. 5- When leaving busy traffic to enter a driveway or other private egress, stop completely before signalling, signal, then follow the same "Rules of Waiting" outlined for green lights. 6- If you are driving and another car is within seven feet of you to either side, subtract 15 mph from your overall speed, preferably without notice. If you are on a two-lane bridge or limited road, subtract another 10 mph for safety's sake. When raining, look over to the side of the road, if you are traveling faster than pedestrians, slow down. 7- If you see snow, even if you THINK you see snow, pull over and leave your vehicle immediately. For rain, see rule 6. 8- Pedestrians have the right of way. This includes pedestrians that have not entered the crosswalk, pedestrians thinking about crossing the street, and pedestrians that just happen to be nearby. When in doubt, apply the Rules of Waiting whenever a pedestrian is within sight. 9- If your car is suddenly grabbed from below and forced to move more quickly, that is gravity and you are on a hill. Step on the brakes and slow down. 10- Never, for any reason whatsoever, drive as if you have someplace to go, it will confuse and frighten those around you who enjoy driving for hours on end. 11- If you see a giant ball of flame, that is the sun. It will not hurt you, but slow down, just to be sure. |

Check out the tactical rifle match. I went in Sept. It was a blast! |

USN_Joe - LMAO about the Ballard rules. How true. I think the place you are thinking of on the Mt. Baker Highway was off Mosquito Lake Road, not too far from rainman's area. I have been there many times. It was up the North Fork Road (of the Nooksack River). Unfortunately, sometime this past year, DNR in their infinite wisdom gated the road and it was closed the last time I checked. There are trails all over the mountains back there developed over many years by the Mt. Baker Motorcycle Club.

View Quote instead of driving in ballard i think you can change this to driving in western washington. and you forgot to mention that if you switch from the center lane to the left lane or the car pool lane, slow down to the speed limit or 5 to 10 miles under the limit, to keep all the cars in the left lane that are trying to do 70 down to safer speed. |
